I am looking for suggestions for the best tube dac available. I have heard good things about Audio Note, Zanden,and Ypsilon. I only plan on using it for red book cd's.

The M1 was more dimensional and the soundstage deeper and wider. Have not looked back! (Dealer disclaimer)

And while the BIG6 was wonderful I'm sure the more expensive Lampi's sound better, they should but I never heard one myself so can't comment. Also the OP didn't ask about tube size so the age old question remains....does size matter!
