Tube DACs


I am looking for a very good tube DAC that will give me the tube mid-range magic (not too much bloom) but that alive sound, with deep bass and a wide soundstage. I tired the Electrocompaniet SS DAC on my Sony SCD-777ES and it threw a very wide soundstage with very deep bass, and great details. I am looking for a DAC that will add some of the tube maigic to the mid range especially for vocals.

I know of the CAL Alpha, Sonic Frontiers and the Audio Logic tube DACs, do you have any experience with these or any others?

Thanks for your input and Happy Listening.

Try an Audio Note Tube DAC. The DAC One 1x Signiture is an excellent tube DAC at a reasonable price. I had a problem with my B&W's being too bright until I put the Audio Note into the system.

Its worth a shot.
