EE MiniMax Dac Tube Rolling?

Has anyone had success rolling tubes in this DAC and if so what did you find to be the best?

I also like the new Psvane 12AU7 from Grant Fidelity. The Mullard is a little sweeter and warmer, while the Psvane has more detail. Op-Amp rolling makes a HUGE difference too. There are a couple of forum threads on here about that subject. Just do a search.

It really is an excellent piece of gear. I have also tried it without the tube, but still prefer it with the Mullard, in my system. It is indeed nice sounding in the SS mode, but the tube gives me that "analog" sound that I crave. I'm willing to give up a little detail and bottom end to get that warmth and romance. Just my preference...YMMV
