Tube DAC with solid state pre and solid state amp

The EE DAC can output both tube or SS, so it is possible to compare the two with SS amplification. I prefer the tubed output and have experimented with several different tubes. No one can really say what your system would sound like. It works.......for me.

Using a Boulder 1060 amp with a Pass XP-20. Going to sell the Pass and get a Boulder pre. The 2010 runs circles around the 1010 but those circles are $$$. Oppo 105 as source. Might have it modded to remove the need for a DAC? I have never used a DAC but I am leaning toward an Audio Note 3.1 kit heavily modded by Ben at High End Audio Repair.

I'm thinking to get Lab 12 Reference DAC (tube) to pair with Solid State Amplifier (Yamaha A-S1200) to drive Dali Rubicon 2. Would it be appropriate ? Kindly advise. 

@rallais , what info do you seek exactly? Plenty of people use tube DACs with solid state amplification, myself included.
