Birthday DAC


Hi all,

I have been asked by a family member to help choose a new DAC as a birthday gift. ( wish my wife was as generous ).  My sister in law is looking for an R2R Dac; preferably tube based.  The only kicker is she wants a smaller size.  Her price range 3-5 thousand dollars. I haven't been down this rabbit hole for a while and wonder if there are any suggestions I could share with her.

Thanks !

Nice present. Yesterday was my birthday and my wife gave me $1000.00 in cash. After I blew out the two candles she took the money back and said that she would keep it because I lose everything. How can I rebut that one? No, honey.. I haven’t lost my 108 pound integrated amplifier… Nope can’t counter her logic.

Love my May Holo DAC KTE… very musical… Not tube based, but my integrated has a tube preamp and my sound is very much like my analog.
