Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC
Hey ColorfulpelletsThanks for the invite but unfortunately I'm over in the east coast near NYC. Otherwise I'd be over your place with my DAC-09 for comparison, additional tubes for some tube rollin fun/confusion and beverages of choice.Definitely ... 
How do you send an internet stream into a hi fi?
I use the Outlaw Audio OAW3 wireless system to stream internet radio to my 2 channel system. I think the only issue is I'm at the mercy of my laptop's DAC. I'm not sure though. 
Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC
Hi MjcmtI didn't see or think of any rudeness at all in your previous post. I have the Grant Fidelity DAC-09 that has the headphone jack, analog inputs, outputs and volume control. At first I just wanted to use it on its own as a nice all in one. ... 
Looking for brighter tubes
Wolf. You may still need that vacuum cleaner. If you put your glass bulb and wire near a Lana Del Ray song the air will be bored to death or lulled to sleep. At least that is what happens to me when I hear or see that Video games song performance.... 
Looking for brighter tubes

Shengya,Kavent,Vincent -all the same
Would anyone know where to go to get service manuals or schematics for Shengya/Kavent/Vincent Audio gear? I'd like to know should I ever have an issue with my Kavent amp. Also I was trying to help a member here who is having an issue with his Sheg... 
Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC
Hi ColorfulpelletsThanks for the heads up on this. I thought the Maverick Audio Tube DACs were related to Grant Fidelity tube DACs. From looking at the TubeMagic D2 it is different vs. the Grant Fidelity DAC-11. Look forward to your further though... 
Speaker cable thoughts
Don't know if you considered this. How about going up the MAC speaker cable ladder? Get the more expensive Silver AG or MAC Shotguns. I'm sure Steve from MAC would work with you as you are a returning customer. He would also know what would work w...

Direct connect with the Emotiva
Good to hear that you are having good results with the Emotiva XDA-1. It has a volume control I believe so it can pull double duty as a DAC and preamp. One less piece of equipment in the chain right. 
Jaton or Emotiva Preamp?

Benefits of brand synergy
I've had good experiences with matching the same brand amp/preamp. In one system I had with matching a McCormack TLC-1 Deluxe along with a McCormack DNA .5 Deluxe the music to me was heavenly. I also really enjoy the music with a Kavent S-33 pream... 
DIY ICs
What about DH Labs BL-1 Series II wire? The price for bulk unterminated cable is quite wallet friendly and the cable has been well reviewed for quite some time.

Best DAC for $500
