MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?

I’m considering one of these. Please share your thoughts, especially if you’ve heard them. I will be streaming 70% and CD’s 30%

Jazz, R&B and classical in that order are my listening habits.

My room is 20x30 and very nice acoustics.

Current system:
Dali Epicon 8, Luxman 509X, PS Audio NuWave DSD, Cambridge CXC, Shunyata interconnects & Nordost speaker cable

Thank you!!!

I purchased the same adapter for my grannyring modified Orchid dac and there is a nos Mullard ECC189/CV5331 low noise 6DJ8 military stock tube on the way. Will report back. 😊

That is great! Let us know the result.  The new tube will need 40-60 hours of play time. I am really interested in the big bottle cv181 6sn7 equivalent and how it will sound. The top plate tube hole will need to be expanded a bit using a simple step up drill bit. I bet this one tube ends up being very special. My audio buddy should be trying one today or tomorrow.

Which 6sn7 do you have?
Modern production of vintage?
Try Ken-Rad vt231 black glass from 40x. They are great and not crazy expansive.
