Thanks for the feedback. I considered getting an external tube DAC but I already have a dedicated audio sound card installed in the PC so wondered whether another DAC would be redundant(?).
Digital Audio and Yaqin SD-CD3 Tube Buffer?
I'm running a computer-based desktop audio system playing through Audioengine A2+ powered speakers and I was considering placing a Yaqin SD-CD3 Tube buffer between the PC's sound card and the powered speakers. Before I moved forward, I wanted to know if others have tried using a tube buffer in a digital audio set-up and what their results were (even if not this specific model). I am worried that whatever tube characteristics the Yaqin might add will be lost in the processing by the powered speakers. Is this likely?
More specifically, I wondered if anyone had suggestions for tube replacements for the SD-CD3 (6SN7's) as I understand much better results can be gained by replacing the stock tubes.
TIA!
