i don't think there is a definitive answer.

you should audition as many components as you can.

i am partial to tubes, yet i also own a ps audio powerwave transport and dac. there is something to be said for listening to a cd when it is not spinning.

my reference digital source is an old audionote cd player with a 12au7 output stage.
