Tube v. SS DAC
I'm thinking about buying a DAC for the first time both to use with CDs as well as music stored on a computer and possibly streaming music as well. I recently set up a tube based system centered on a Dennis Had built Inspire Amp. I like the tube system very much and am wondering what the plusses and minuses are of tube based DAC.
I may use this with the tube-based system. But I also have a solid state system to which I'd like to incorporate a DAC.
I'm not really interested in solid state systems that throw in a buffer tube. I'm trying to compare actual tube-based v. solid state DACs. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
