Hmmm, a chipless DAC, intriguing but it would need a few thousand tubes to make up for those chips.

Seriously, I use an MDA1000 as my DAC and I can listen to digital (including streaming digital (Rhapsody or Pandora) from my Sonos) all day long. The MDA1000 is super smooth and analog sounding to start with, but when you take its signal an massage it through the preamp tubes and the SET power tubes of the Cortese, the result is 100% delicious.
