Audiolot monoblocks. Based on 6C33C tubes. Made in Ukraine

If these sound as good as they look, I imagine it would be a fantastic experience. I can't seem to find any info about these or Audio Lot. Can you share more? The balanced input is intriguing.

These two sound great! Unfortunately the balanced input is not true - just switching  between two connection options.

Here you are http://www.audiolot.com.ua/

Unfortunately I cannot find English version... After having pushed as shown at the pictures you'll get to the old amps they produced

How do you like that Orchid? I had a Havana for years and now a heavily modified Pagoda that I really love. My son tried an Orchid in his system, but thought it was no better than the onboard DAC in the Node. I found that pretty hard to believe, but we all hear differently.

I agree that we all hear differently. I find DACs more alike than different up to a certain price, Once above it they seem to hit another level and most in that level are more alike than different IMHO. I can not see paying the idiotic figures they want for some DACs. I had an 8000.00 DAC in the house I thought was VERY MARGINALLY better than a 1k DAC.

 

The Orchid is a very good DAC it punches above its price point. I Like the Tube output it smoothes out the edges. Your son is probably in the camp looking for more detail etc... from a DAC I dont think that is where the Orchid excells. It offers a great overall sound without all the digital harshness. If he were looking for a DAC to do that, I am sure he would re-think the Orchid

 

I like the idea of the Audio Note being an all tube design. it sounds very good, I need to spend more time with them

Back around 2000, I bought an AN DAC 1.1. It replaced a Sonic Frontiers SFD-2. I thought the AN was very good, I bet the 2.1 is even better. I like the sound of non-oversampling DACs and doubt I will go back to a Delta Sigma type again.

I am on the fence between the Audio Note and an Audio GD Master 7 (The M7 is set to NOS). The best Delta Sigma type DAC I have ever heard is the PSaudio Perfectwave DaAC MKII..... It honestly has the same traits as the NOS DACs IMHO......................................I could Frankly live  with any of the 4 in house DACs I currently have. I'll Put it this way anyone that knows me will know what this means " I am no longer looking at DACs"  I also sold a VERY nice vinyl setup. I kept getting pulled back into vinyl because digital was always just a bit off. That is no longer the case for me, Now digital causes the hair on the back of the neck to stand up. It just sounds REAL

I have only had it a few days, So far its very nice. I like it quite a bit. Build Quality seems top notch. Fit & Finish is as good as I have seen, My only peeve is its hard to find info / reviews / manual etc...
