Probably a dumb DAC question


I have recently ordered a new tube pre and will be needing to purchase a new dac. My question is do certain dac's work better with tubes than others.

Typically, DACs and tubes mate very well together, since digital is known to be “less-than-warm” sounding. If you disclose what your DAC budget is, then you will undoubtedly receive some great suggestions.

PS Audio is offering their excellent Perfect Wave DAC (PWD) for $2,000 along with the trade-in of any used DAC - old or cheap. This is for certain a true bargain. I highly recommend visiting their website for details.

I pair my PWD with solid state, but I have heard it with tube gear (ARC amp and pre), with which it sounds spectacular.
