Dan001, take a look at my system, I use a tube based DAC and a tube linestage which is sounds superlative in my rig. Another important aspect is to get the right NOS tubes to get the synergy you want in your system.
tubed dac paired to tubed preamp, worth it?
well, its been almost 6 months since fiddling with my system, so, i am going to, because...i feel like it. I wonder if getting a tubed dac paired with my tubed pre will have any impact on sound, or is it overkill, or, no kill at all. I currenly run a canary 906 as my pre, with a musical fidelity A3 24 dac because i run a yamaha 5 disc carousel as it suits my listening habits, i like random..and i am pleased with the sound..but, most of you can relate...time to tweak!!..im wondering if anyone has paired a tube dac to their tubed pre and the results.
