Not an Orchid, but I owned a modified Pagoda that I really liked. I now have a Pontus II which I feel is even better. The Pontus is just as organic and natural as the pagoda, but adds more resolution and better bass control.
MHDT Orchid v Denafrips Pontus
I've had an Orchid in my system for going on 3 years now. It's a great DAC, does exactly what I bought it for, which is present music in a natural, non-fatiguing way. I've tube rolled with it, used a couple of different digital cables, one of which did provide slightly more detail (Audio Art D-1SE2). I'm Denafrips curious though and would like to see if someone has had both. From reviews, I'm wondering if the Pontus would keep all of that R2R goodness and present more detail than the Orchid. Thanks!
