@cheche9 -- I recently got a tip from Emprical Audio that you should always run a balanced digital cable and use an SPDIF adapter if you’re not going balanced. According to him, and I haven't verified this but he knows what he's doing, digital cables can't be optimally terminated with SPDIF connectors, hence you're better off with RCA adapters from a balanced termination. If you can, why are you not just using the balanced connections?
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.
