dac and streamer or seperates
I’ve just finished my journey down the same path as you’re heading now. I started with a modded Cambridge cxn v2, modded by ModWright. Excellent sound and the streaming end is absolutely seamless. I’ve never had a streaming glitch in over a year. ...

So I’ve listened to the Rockna Wavedream Edition xlr for a few days now. I will have to say it has brought the sound to the level I expected a system of this level to sound like. The resolution, I would normally say clarity here but apparently I d...

I chose to go a different route mdrone. The dac, if memory serves is a1.6v which I’m not sure is enough power for an 8/9 watt set amp. Also, having heard it compared to the Rockna, it sounded very mellow. My heart wants a bit more dynamics or live... 
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes
I hope the dac situation works out for you. It is annoying and can be costly. I sold some brand new Zu speakers because they bothered my ears and caused headaches. Always a fear when purchasing new equipment.

Glad to hear they are getting better. I too have tinnitus and have had quite a few tubes bother me in the beginning and then settle down. Happy yours did some settling in.   
I have perfected my network for the nth time
I just read about the Bacch filters. Very interesting and not a ton of money. I just contacted them regarding compatibility with my system. Might be a nice way to listen to certain music.

I’m not saying all that OP heard was placebo btw. I’m just thinking out loud the possibilities. I switched speaker wire and I don’t care what anyone says, there was a considerable difference in sound. I just try to be open minded so I don’t waste ... 
I have perfected my network for the nth time
I’m not taking sides on this debate. I see valid points on each side. If the measured sound going in, sine wave, is the exact same coming out, how can anyone hear a sound difference? Is the more to sound than we understand? Or more to hearing that...

Fredrik222 I’m not doubting you. I found the video fascinating so I figured I’d share it. These guys can determine the sound from the movement of an object. Really cool technology.

Some new discoveries regarding sound. Interesting. Type this YouTube New video technology that reveals an object's hidden properties Just another example that we don’t know everything about sound and hearing.

Are the Mullards fully broken in? Tubes can be quite harsh sometimes in the beginning.

dacs that I have had in my system - a listing
I did add the Amperex as Dan suggested. I love them compared to the Electro Harmonix. It’s a good unit for sure. I’m new to this world of tubes. I had the same ss system for 25 years. I now have a tube dac, preamp and amp. Perhaps my nativety, I t... 
Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes
Good point Tomcy6. The only other 6922 I’ve used is the Electro Harmonix. Not a big sample pool. The Amperex are just better overall and more pleasing to listen to. I’m probably confusing warm with more pleasing and easy to listen to. Also, I have... 
When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached?
If you can’t measure it it doesn’t exist according to the ASR crew. I asked a question there once and was surprised by the quick attack to legitimate questions. I was new and apparently asked a question regarding measurements and how we hear thing...
