Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing

Best DAC’S $5k to $15k
I think for really evaluating a dac one really have to know the system and lived with it for a while.  
Current or Previous Harbeth Owners…
Those are great speakers for sure, Dynaudio are known for liking power, what amp are you using?  
Current or Previous Harbeth Owners…
Yes voices are marvelous too, of course if one is more to heavy metal or elecronica then other speakers will fair better. I don’t think I will ever get rid of my ls5/9 except maybe for the Graham LS5/5, but I have to win the lottery first 😂
