Discrete R2r With Tube Output


Wondering what options there are for dac with non chip based r2r and a tube output stage. I’m not aware of any but figure they must exist. My guess is they are way out of my price range and that’s why I’m unfamiliar.

LTA has a new one out getting good reviews.  $3,950.00

on another note why do you think chip based R2R's are inferior? to me they are more accurate as the resistors on the chip are better matched, wont drift out of spec as fast and do the same thing as a string of outboard resistors. chip based R2R's are not digital in anyway just a bunch of resistors on a chip apposed to laid out separately. well that's my understanding of them from my research.
