There's a reason (OK, more than one) why Jolida / Black Ice stuff is so cheap. Build quality on some of their products leaves something to be desired. No tube noise from my MHDT Labs Orchid.
...thanks greatly for the experience y'all. I tried different tubes, all from upscale, and was never able to rid the unit of noise so I sold it off. Recently been considering a couple different dacs and some are tube based and have naturally been hesitant to try. Will have to keep experimenting with an open mind.....
