MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?

I’m considering one of these. Please share your thoughts, especially if you’ve heard them. I will be streaming 70% and CD’s 30%

Jazz, R&B and classical in that order are my listening habits.

My room is 20x30 and very nice acoustics.

Current system:
Dali Epicon 8, Luxman 509X, PS Audio NuWave DSD, Cambridge CXC, Shunyata interconnects & Nordost speaker cable

Thank you!!!

Regarding the ShuGuang Treasure vacuum tubes CV181-Z, are rated at 0.6 amps. Do you now think they might do damage to the dac? (In addition to not sounding right?)


The treasure cv181 tubes aren't the same as the nos cv181 tubes, they are a 6sn7 tube, I don't know why they call them cv 181's.

Great! Thanks for confirming! 
Does anyone currently use the ShuGuang Treasure vacuum tubes CV181-Z? Did you find anything that betters it? (I have a pair inbound now)

Well, I did not like the sound of these cv181 tubes in the Orchid. For me the sound was too forward and forced.  A good audio buddy liked it however.  
The tranny is very small in the Orchid and these 6sn7 variants do pull more current. I have not heard of any issues using these tubes in the Orchid, but over the long term who knows?

Oh my! I took all mods listed in this thread and other threads concerning mods to the Orchard, and applied them -all- to a 2hand Stockholm 2 I got for a good price… Installed the Shuguang Treasure CV181Z through an adaptor…..

The sound….. is like nothing I heared before… My Denafrips AresII is sold!

Currently burning in the Shuguang Treasure CV181Z, 5 hours now….
