MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?

Well I probably have 50 to 60 hours on the Orchid now and.....
Still was not really digging the sound.

Which leads me to .... Cables and if anyone needs any further proof of how different cables can bring a different flavor read on!

All of my IC are Straight Wire, PC are home made, SC are WE cable home made.

Well I had no more straight wire IC left so used a pair of XLO IC between orchid and amp... I should have known better.

Another pair of straight wire IC I had ordered were delivered this morning so I replaced the XLO with these and I'm floored at the difference!

A lot more warmth and body with seemingly no loss of detail or dynamic.

Now the fun can begin!

devilboy,
It sounded pretty fine and the sound was not too loud, bedroom for showroom, not the best conditions. A few systems used the LTA integrated.The Lampi Pacific with the monster VAC amp were amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew2qb8FpI6Y
The Volti Audio room with Rival speakers, Border Patrol DAC and amp was special too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew2qb8FpI6Y

WE tube arrived today.
In and warmed up and playing.
Immediately a sense of more depth and body and certainly more mid bass impact.

Things are sounding good!

Yes indeed.  Sweet little dac really. 

Has anyone tried a RCA Red Base 5692 ( 6sn7) with the Orchid?
