I used to have a L4 then moved to a Big7 and finally to a Golden Gate. Big step up everytime. In addition, I have the latest Ladder R2R PCM setup and DSD 256 capability. The other thing is that I have become tube addicted, as I now roll rectifiers and output tubes with wild abandon to modify the music presentation. Tons of fun. The Golden Gate is simply phenomenal.

Besides the Bricasti is a SS Dac and the OP is asking about TUBE Dacs. Like me, he may want to pair a tube Dac with SS amplification, to get the blend he likes.
