For the record the 1704k version dac is considered by many the best dac Ever made. Esoteric, Accupsaze, Lector,less loss, and several others use these dacs and in the Ayon cd-5'and their Skylla dac which is slightly better
Use 4 ,2 per channel,thedacdoes not need to share one of the Takamura
Transformers with a transport therefor it has slightly better separation,
Soundstage , and dynamics in absolute terms .let me add either Herbies best tube dampers or the Eat model help to lock in the imaging,also
The 4 Chinese rectifiers are ok for the first 500 hours to run the unit in
But Mullard ,Mazda,RCA on any 1960s 6x 4- ez 90 tubes will easilly
Improve the performance in dynamics and to lock in the performance,
Also replace th 20mmfuse on backwiththe new Hifi tuning Supreme fuse
You will hear how it sounds more clean sounding after a 2-3 day runin.
