tube dac


Generally speaking, will a tube dac have a significant impact on a tube pre- power amp system. I have a mf a5 cd player and im looking for a tube pre to match with a pair of ss monoblocks. Speakers are Nola Viper iia. I have been intrigued by the reviews of the Havana DAC.

CD players that use a tubed output stage will have the greatest impact on sound. Some players will have a tube placed in a non critical part of the circuit path for the purpose of marketing.
