Tube or R-2R DAC for Tube System

debating technologies in d/a conversion as well as differing output stage types is fun fodder to banter around for audiophiles

one can muse and debate to no end (and no end result)

but at the end of the day it is about the quality of the engineering to make any chosen tech/configuration work, and the taste/ear of the designer/listener who makes and choses the product

the very best sounding dacs out there use all different methods of getting to the desired goal and level of sonic purity and signature desired

It would be helpful if you had a DAC and listed what you don’t like about it and what direction you want to go, otherwise we are just guessing on your preferences. Without context, all we can do is suggest DACs that we like rather meeting your preferences.

can we have another 'amen'!!?? 

It is tough to make generalizations.
