Because that other thread is about other DAC's and goes on forever about a host of things, I'll just say that I'm happy as a clam with my Orchid. My CD playback is so good that I'm not missing vinyl (my cart is out for repair). I've always like CD's though so I'm not one of those guys. I've appreciated that it allows for playback without the annoying breaks that you get with LP's. For classical and a lot of other long form music, it's been great. Just that the format needed help. And I feel like the Orchid does that. I'll be interested to do some back to back when I get my turntable setup.
