@Verdantaudio - that is very interesting observation about the tube output stage in DACs in general. I own the AudioMirror DAC (SE III) and it is very good. I would put in on par with the Bricasti M3 (which I also own) - similar sound quality overall, a little bit softer in attack on the AudioMirror. Both are high quality DACs I would consider end game for all but the highest quality systems.
