Have run a Musical Fidelity V-DAC and now Schiit Gungnir DAC with tubes. With both DACs have used a V-Link 192 SPDIF converter. Not disputing the praise for Tidal (I haven't tried it) but Spotify Premium sounds pretty darn good on my system.
tube amp and spotify
What DAC will work well at a reasonable price with my primaluna tube amp and spotify coming from my computer (USB)? Not looking to spend more than 1K (used or new). Thanks
