MHDT Orchid NOS DAC
Great unit, I recently wrote an in depth review on it here;
https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?60225-REVIEW-MHDT-Labs-Orchid-The-Ultimate-Analogue-Sounding-DAC-TDA1514&highlight=mhdt
Mint condition. Only selling as I have now a new hybrid valve amplifier with inbuilt DAC that I'm a little bit in love with,* I am also debating having MHDT make a custom NOS DAC for me,*so using the money from this to fund its extortionate cost of these two 'projects'.
Comes complete with all packaging (double box), unused High Performance MHDT USB Cable, optical cable, drivers disc. It does not come with a mains cable from the factory, but its a normal IEC fitment.
Currently these units retail at around £1000 with a hefty chunk of import duty and vat, which rises to around £1250-1350 landed.
The unit comes with the standard Philips TDA1541A R1 chip.
£750 Delivered (or collected from SE London)
Optional Modifications
I can offer a genuine*Philips*1541A S1*Chip for £150 installed.
NOS Western Electric Tube - WE396A*(D getter, JW Military version as recommended by MHDT)(around 30 hours use) £80 installed.*
I do have a genuine*Philips*1541A S2*chip that I purchased at extortionate cost from a reputable supplier, but I am not sure about selling it, as ill probably use it again the future with the custom DAC, but if its something you are interested in we can discuss.*
