Curious about Audio Horizons TP3.0 Tube DAC

A review of the TD 3.0 was published recently at Dagogo. com. Here is the page link: http://www.dagogo.com/AudioHorizonsTD3.0nDAC.html

The reviewer liked it a lot. I do, too. Read the review. I think it is a fair assessment of the product

I haven't heard the DAC, but I do know someone who owned both the SS and tubed DAC's from Audio Horizons. He preffered the SS DAC and sold the tubed version, which actually cost more....go figure.

i had a chance to audition the dac, recently.

well, it sounds like a solid state dac without the usual transistor "edge", yet it uses 4 6 volt tubes.

mine had siemens tubes.

its presentation was not my cup of tea. why put tubes in a component if you don't hear the pleasant tube coloration(s) ?
