The tube section is smoother than the SS output, however,that is better than anything I ever heard and owned. There is a larger soundstage and better separation. If you thought SACDs were great you should listen to HDCDs on the Shanling. Plus they are less expensive.

Why not just keep things simple and do tube-only? If it's just a selling point, then I'm not interested. I would rather an audiophile company produce "coherent" products. Besides, the ability to switch back and forth (with a cumbersome movement of ICs) doesn't seem to offer an advantage. If you want tubes, get tubes; if you want ss, get ss.
