The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up

This morning the review on the superlative Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC was just posted on Six Moons.com.  It gives all the details why I have made it my reference DAC.  I also share my position, with flexibility, that all all the hype regarding high resolution formats as being superior sounding to 16/44.1 kHz or 16/48 kHz R-2R ladder DACs is just that "hype".  

Hope you enjoy the review.

I have a few DACs, some much more expensive, some with MQA, and I think they all support higher sampling rates. The Orchid is my favorite.

This particular reviewer isn't the only one that has said a lot of good things about the MHDT labs DACs in general and the Orchid in particular.  I read a lot of good things before I bought my Orchid (which was before this review was posted) and am very happy with mine.

Pull chip out, insert new one, listen and enjoy. As far as I know the only thing the firmware does is establish a USB connection. You don't need to flash the firmware if you change to the same chip.
