Any others worth demoing under $1750?

I was considering the Orchid. It's tube buffered, NOS with a 1541 chip.

I went with the Ukrainian DAC simply because the design and parts used looked interesting. FWIW, I did 'hear' it from You Tube videos. The Doors Riders on the Storm and some classical. Music had weight, texture and tone. Fingers still crossed.

I'd use that Arcam until you hear something better with your ears.
