As Hide45 stated there are several threads regarding tube DACs. I own the Audio Mirror Tubadour III DAC. I believe it would add much of that tube magic to a SS system. The Orchid is also highly thought of. I should add that I also use a tube preamp into a SS amp.
Tube-based DACS: Positive? Negative?
Tube-based DACS: Positive? Negative?
I’ve been desiring to interject some of the desirable characteristics of vacuum tubes into a fully SS system.
Are there users out there who have positive experiences with tube-based DACs in this regard?
Such offerings by Lampizator, Prima Luna, and others seem to present some interesting solutions. Would love to hear your feedback.
Thanks :)
