Tubes or not

Currenty I have a Wadia Di22 . I'm thinking of replacing it with a tube dac. I'm tube upstream . I'm afraid a tube DAC will bust the bank for the improvement I would hear. I don't want to replace it because it's not tube. I think I I can get a better non tube DAC for the price of a good tube DAC if you don't have an idea that is less than $1500 don't ask me about my equipment. That's a quick filter on multiple levels. I just want to squeeze as much as I can from the signal as I can for best price.98% of the other time vinyl is playong

Any mhdt tube DAC (NOS) should fit the bill of providing a sound different than your current DAC that you might like better.

I use a mhdt Constantine (SS DAC) still in my main system.  It's been there happily for several years.   

I had both that and mhdt Paradisea tube DAC at first.  If the newer mhdt tube DACs are like the Paradisea, they will respond greatly to tube rolling which will give you a new way to perhaps tune the sound as desired.
