Maybe you're not familiar with them but there are tube based standalone DACs . I'm listening to my 2nd system right now with a Modwright Elyse R2R tubed based (6922) DAC. There's any of a number of others - MHDT DACs, Aqua Acoustics LaScala, Lamipzator DACs, Border Patrol, to name a few brands.
Also , there are many solid state DACs that sound as good as if not better than tube DACs . I have a Mojo Audio DAC in my main system doesn't take a back seat to my tube DAC.
^^^^^
OK you got me,
Yes I was completely unaware of any of the tube dacs you mention.
Thanks for your kind imput,,I'll take a look at the units you mentioned.
But as for SS DACs,, I'm a tube guy, just neurotic about having a tube in every component.
