SS DAC's driving tube pre / amp vs ss pre / amp
I would say absolutely not if anything I find tubes, and you have some great gear, to be at least as transparent as SS if not more so. However since you were able to audition the Dac, presumably at a dealer, are you able to borrow one for a home a... 
Qobuz.
ozzy thats good to hear. I am enjoying Qobuz and Tidal both, though Tidal has a deeper category, particularly in jazz, I still find things on Qobuz that aren't on Tidal. I think I will be keeping them both and what a world we live in with all this...

I think there is a way to make a low offer without it being insulting. Something along the lines of: "Hi I've always wanted preamp X your unit looks perfect. Sadly I have limited funds if you would ever consider accepting $xxxxx please let me know... 
Why all or most audiophiles are men?
Men like bright shiny objects.  
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
So digital cables, like all cables are system dependent so take this with a grain of salt. The best digital cable to my ears in my system was the Jorma Design digital cable. I believe retail is in the $12-1500 range, I picked mine up used. A reall... 
Business Ethics in the Audio Industry
