Tube buffer for an Oppo BDP-83

I would recommend the Pacific Valve and Electric Company's Yaqin tube buffer. It uses a single 6922/6DJ8 tube that is easy to find and tube roll with. Been using mine for over three years with a Marantz DV-9600 universal disc player with great success.

do you mean a tube preamp ?

i am reviewing the 83 SE, using a passive tvc pre.

I hope I'm not hi jacking this thread. Would a Jaqin tube buffer benefit me coming from a cd player even though I have a McIntosh tube preamplifier

Many Thanks,
Robert

Maybe not quite the same, but I have an Opp DAV-H and I output the digital feed into my old CAL Sigma tube DAC. I run the Sigma into my ARC LS-3 preamp and I'm getting beautiful sound from the DVDs (I am running a Doge 6 for red book CD). Right this very moment I am enjoying an Anita Ody DVD (Anita Ody Live in 1963 & 1970, Jazz Icon DVD) via the Opp/Sigma and the sound is PURE GOLD!

Sorry, make that an "Oppo DV-980h" and "Anita O'Day".......Spell Check, oy.....
