@gakerty if you're the tweeking type, have a look at the Musical Paradise MP-D2 tube DAC. I thoroughly enjoyed mine while I had it and its a relative bargain.

I can see your point, on the other hand I guess if they can do it well, why not? |
Not a big fan, myself been into upgrades for years, if you look in Tas magazine his $4600 preamp maybe heavy but in a critical part of the circuit the output just look left upper corner a cheap $25 alps volume pot that Silver round can , when in fact it should have a dedicated resistive ladder attenuators, or relays , just a plastic resistive carbon pot for volume you loose a fair amount of low level detail. Even the transformers. C core transformers ,and chokes go with tubes and for sure the best, look at anything in Japan or top elsewhere ,a toroidal transformer is fine for Solid State , it doesnot belong with tubes, having owned a Audiostore, and knowing upgrades prima luna ,No Thank you ! |
@twoleftears +1 I’m a fan of Mac preamps & amps, but don’t really understand why they go upstream or downstream of those (and they should kill the a/v stuff). Would be nice to see a few more tube pre-amp choices instead |
