Please recommend a budget tube dac

Hi,

I just switched to a great solid-state integrated, but I want to regain that rich tube sound, to the extent that I can on my CDs. In addition, I am starting to delve into computer audio.

Right now I have a Music Hall CDP 25.2. I guess I could sell it, and get the Music Hall Dac and set it up with an old cd player with an optical out, and via my computer on the USB port.

Are there any options?

Thanks -- Marty

Paradisea+ is probably about the least expensive tube DAC around. I have one it did the job quite well. I've now upgraded to the PreDAC which is so very impressive though over budget for you.

The M-24 mentioned is also a very good deal.

Meant to say "so far very impressive"... as that reads a tad too glowing a review for my liking.
