Your best decision, in my opinion and experience, is stick with tubes to get the best of digital and analog. I have an all-tube system (Octave MRE 220's with SBB) and an Octave Jubilee Pre). Admittedly, my server is all SS (Antipodes K50).
I bought the Lampizator Pacific DAC w/300B tubes. It is the best audio purchase I have ever made. The Lampi Pacific produces an analog-like sound, which rivals the best turntable, tonearm, cartridge and phono-amp combination money can buy, but with noticeably more bandwidth in the audio spectrum - so it ups the ante in terms of delivering unprecedented realism.
Wait for it! Soon the sound of the skeptics and critics, who will pull out their rifles filled with homemade amo cast from the forges of their misery, envy and frustration. Fire away my sadlizes! I won't be able to hear you over the beautiful sound of my Pacific DAC.
