TRL Audio Mirror D1 Signature

I recently had my Audio Mirror DAC modified by TRL. A review has been posted in the Product Review section. I will say that anyone owning or thinking or purchasing this DAC should consider this modification which is quite reasonably priced at $550. The DAC sounds quieter (-20db reduction in noise level), is more accurate and analog sounding (it was already a very analog sounding DAC so this improvement truly surprised me), and really improves the micro and macro dynamics. The overall presence of the music is much more pronounced. Notes just seem to appear or jump out at you. Truly an amazing upgrade, but be forewarned, it will require a 500 hour minimum burn-in process.

Joeylawn36111,

The modified unit requires the extended burn-in. The D2 should be good to go after 200 or so hours.

Thanks Clio. Bought it today - therefore - I bought a DAC on the DAC (Day After Christmas) ;>)

Let me know what you think of it. Also, if you like it and after a while of use want to get more mileage out of it, give TRL a call. They'll take it to well beyond the next level.

Can anybody describe the signature or what to expect from the TRL mods? Is there a common quality of sound that is associated with the TRL mods? Did anyone have more than one piece of equipment modified by them? Just curious what can be improved because their mod is $550 regardless of the unit being modified. Just curious.....thanks
