PrimaLuna EVO 100 tube DAC

Hi.  I am running a Wiim Pro Plus into a Yamaha A-S801 into Wharfedale Linton Heritage.  I want to tinker with my setup and possibly add some tubes.

I've come across the PrimaLuna EVO 100 tube DAC for a very discounted price at a going out of business sale.

This would get me tubes but would also be an upgrade to my Wiim DAC.

I'd need to purchase it without hearing it in my setup, so it would be a bit of a risk, but again, it's heavily discounted which is why i'm considering it. 

I suspect I would have some noticeable sound difference from the tubes, but what about from the upgraded DAC?  Thank you.

I had the Primaluna Dac, it just seemed boring and tubes can be a problem some times.You can do a lot better. The Wiim is great as a streamer but the Dac is not good.

I also had the Denafrips Venus 12th anniversary at the same time, the Venus is so much better at everything compared to the PL Dac..and I used the Wiim pro as a streamer until I upgraded the streamer…there are so many better dacs out there…

Looking at your Yamaha and speakers, different dacs won’t change anything…you need to upgrade the whole system otherwise you are throwing away money…just enjoy what you have until you can make a big move…
