MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING
@pmboyd . Have you listed you Tubes F/S? 
Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs?
@n80, if your getting the unit for free, what’s your downside? 
Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs?
Yea I have a 105. Using just as a transport. Bypassing the DAC in favor on my Orchid DAC. Noticeable difference IMHO.  
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
@letch  Yea they really do get gobbled up pretty quick on the F/S forums. I just installed the WE JW364A military type and it sounds amazing right out the box. I purchased from Brent Jessee audio tubes. If you don’t see what you want on his wen pa...

Does anyone know what screwdriver/Allen wrench I need to remove the top cover? The manual says torx/T8X50? Cant seem to find that.  
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
@letch   I ordered direct from Liner Tube Audio and received the Orchid in 2 days. Very easy to deal with. I initially ordered with the upgraded tube and cancel at the last minute. I want to roll into a JW396A D getter W-E military tube , witch is... 
MHDT dac...and which streamer/server?
@spiritofmusic   I haven’t tried the optical yet. I have my Roon nucleus connected via USB and my Oppo 105 connect CoAx and it sounds amazing. BTW. Check the mart. A really nice unit was just listed with a upgraded WE tube.  
MHDT or Border Patrol
Well. I ended up with a Orchid. It replaced my Oppo 105. I have ~50-60 hours on the stock GE tube an it’s really opened up. The whole sound stage seems In front of you if that makes any sense. So much so I hooked my Oppo 105 into the Orchid and my... 
Giving up on Itunes! Alternatives? I want to run my hardrive with a dedicated tablet.
I gave up on using LMS and my SBT a few months ago for Roon plus a Nucleus. LMS became to buggy despite all the folks attempting to update the software ( on their own ) for years. Couldn’t be happier.  
Network Transport vs. CD Transport
@audphile1 . Since your a Roon user, I’m wondering if you would have been better off just getting a Nucleus and connecting you DAC into it and let Roon handle your streaming?  
Network Transport vs. CD Transport
I'm using a Oppo 105 fed into my Marantz SR7005 for CD's. Comparing it to streaming was pretty close. However, Just picked up a MHDT Orchid. I was so impressed with the SQ when streaming, I decided to hook the Oppo up to it and bypass the internal... 
Best Streamer for External USB Dac
Do you have many downloads? If so why not get a Nucleus (since your using Roon). Connect your DAC to it and let Roon/Nucleus handle the streaming. I’m very happy with my Nucleus and my MHDT Orchid combo with Roon.  
High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it.
I’m just starting to learn this now. My new MHDT Orchid sounds amazing streaming Redbook.
