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!!!

@grannyring Are you planning on modifying the Amber 3? I wonder how much it can improve with the ODAM. 
Hey Gentlemen,

Wanted to share that either on a standard Orchid or modified one, with grannyring's specs, that placing it on Krolo Design Enhansers (foot cone units that cost $250 for a set of three) make significant and easy to hear improvements of the Orchid's performance. More transparency, therefore  easier to hear micro-details, more air around the players and more precise location and layering in the sound-stage, and tighter/accurate bass.  On these devices the Orchid loses none of its musicality and charm, but improves in the above stated areas.

The auditioning of using the Krolo Design devices was done in three different systems, both solid state and tubed based, with the same wonderful results.  Therefore, the positive changes do not seem to be system dependent.  Highly recommend you Orchid owners consider this rather inexpensive upgrade for your DAC.  

I did a Six Moons website review on these cone units, if you want more information on them.


I don’t want to derail this thread, but for those who are considering an Orchid you might want to do some internet searching for the TDA 1541A based DAC from Abbas Audio. Hand made in Ukraine and very competitively priced. Very nerdy parts selection.

I love my Orchid but have been really curious about the Abbas Audio pieces...
