As far as one box players are concerned, both the AMR CD-77 and ARC CD8 are outstanding and I would add Einstein "The Source" to those to complete my personal Tubed SoTA Triumvirate.
As far as tubed stand-alone DACs are concerned, keep an eye on the Pink Faun DAC to be released soon. If it's anything like their tube amps this promises to be either great for the money or simply unrestrictedly great.
