audio mirror dac

Jman66,

Try the Flavor 4, I think you'll like it. If not, send it back during the trial period. Chris used his cable cooker to burn mine in so it was ready to go.

Seems RidgeStreet is having a sale, I have the VH Audio Pulsar, but I'd like to try something else.

Good luck.

Rob,

Should kick butt.

Clio,

I've had the Flavor 4 for a while now on other players and transports, it is not being returned :>)
I use Ridge Street for my ICs and speaker cable so when the time came for a digital cable, I went with them. I like 'em, they work well in my system and Robert is a true gentleman and craftsman. Same said for Chris @ VH Audio.

Just received my D1 today and let it play for eight hours before I sat down for good listen. I’ve got a smile on my face. First impression of build quality seems very good. As someone mentioned earlier, it’s ashamed that the digital in RCA was not of the same quality as the output RCA’s. I guess for this price, it’s hard to really complain. I contemplated modifying my Marantz SA14 or adding a DAC and I think I made the right decision. I guess I can still have the mod done at a later date. I’ve been very happy with my CDP which I’ve had in my system for going on three years but after reading all the threads of incredible performance upgrades with the flurry of recent inexpensive DAC’s and mods, I caught a bit of the upgrade bug. I always felt the Marantz had very good redbook performance with decent bass, and a smooth midrange but I always felt that I was missing some upper frequency range. The Audio Mirror D1 does what it’s supposed to do with redbook playback. It brings bass to another level and now I have the highs I always felt that I was missing. I hoping that with a few days of break-in, the mids will warm up a bit. If things don’t improve, I’d still be extremely happy with my $500 investment.

Islandflyfisher:

Just will till the 100 hour mark... It just "opens" up!

Cheers,
Dennis
