+1 for the Audio Mirror Tubadour. I have not heard the IV but Vlad claims the V is a greater distance better than the IV compared to the IV's distance better than the III. I feel that the Audio Mirror DAC's are very difficult to beat.
I am checking out these DAC's for my system
I am building a system and all I have left to get is the DAC and maybe a streamer. I really an at a loss on which DAC to get. I am wanting to stream music and also use my system for watching movies. My equipment currently is SMC audio tic-2 GT24 preamp and DNA.5 GT24 amp with GR Research NX-otica's and Open Baffle subs. The DAC's that interest me are
Mojo Audio Mystique X SE- I will have to purchase used and I will need to use and adapter to connect to my TV because it doesn't have toslink.
Mojo Audio Mystique Y- It only has a USB connection so I am not sure how to connect to my TV. Mojo audio DAC's have really good reviews but If they only had toslink. I am really intrigued with the choke in the power supply. I think there might be something to that.
Holo Audio May KTE- People say the mojo sounds better more natural but this DAC still holds a pretty good price used and doesn't last long on the used market.
Musetec mh-da006- This DAC is interesting but I am afraid it will be fatiguing.
Audio Mirror Tubadour v- This just seemed interesting but afraid tubes won't last very long if I watch a bunch of movies etc.
Denafrips terminator plus- These are always for sale used which make me nervous.
If you have any of these DAC's or have listened them let me know from your favorite on down.

@nwres I looked up the Tubadour on the Audio Mirror website to try to figure out the differences in the models and it doesn't say much. The only thing I can tell is the the Tubadour V and IVse have different type of tubes. Maybe I will email and ask. |
@brbrock I would send Vlad at Audio Mirror an email. He is very responsive and great to work with. |
