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.

Yes!I ventured into tubes first with a preamp, then added a cdp,and stuck with a ss amp.Adding another tubed component was a huge step towards the illusion of the "artists in the room." You'll have to audition that Havana and see if you agree.Good luck in your quest.
I totally agree with Steuspeed.You can can get all of the frequencies right including tight bass with different tube combinations.All of the brands sound different and it takes some time and patience to find the ones that shine in your particular components.
