Pls recommend tube DAC


I'm looking for a good, inexpensive tube DAC. How much is inexpensive ? Around five hundred bucks. Then again, if this tube DAC is that special i can go up accordingly. Thanks for your advice.

Monarchy M24. It's a tube DAC with a separate tube linestage in one chassis. I can't give you an indepth analysis, as I have limited experience with DACs and audio gear in general, but it has garnered very good reviews and I'm quite happy with it.

Go to the Monarchy site and read the Bound for Sound review if you're interested.

I use it as a preamp. The DAC has an optical and coaxial input, and the linestage has one (analog) RCA input. One for my Oppo, one for my Airport Express and one for my turntable.
