Jolida FX Tube DAC

Thanks for all the great answers. I did like the Jolida, but the lack of a good driver for my Mac has been an issue and I could never quite get enough warmth out of it. I have moved to the Wyred 4 Sound DAC-1 and I am very happy so far.

The integration with the Mac and Apple TV2 are great! I also have a digital line run from my Oppo BD95 into the W4S and call me crazy, but I think it is better then the Oppo connected via XLR to my Jolida 502.

Lots of changes and time for things to break in, but I think I am moving in the correct direction,.

My 2 cents on tubes with the 502 and Jolida. The tube combo I liked the most was Mullard 12AT's and Mullard NOS 12AX's in the Pre and Northern Electrics in the Glass FX.

I moved the NE to the 12AX7 position on the 502 when I sold the DAC. The Mullard 12AX7's NOS ($$$) Were not the best for my ears, but when the NE were in the line, they were acceptable.
