A excellent dac Black ice audio uses dual 12Ax7 vacuum tubes
which I would put in NOS Raytheon Black plates
brent Jesse audio, and a Synergistic 🍊 fuse decent power cord
And beats dacs 2-3 x it’s cost .Underwood Wally sells them
Retail $799,which you can buy for less build quallity compact but very good especially the Rcore power supply Burr Brown dac chipsets. Rich involving sound ,even stock ,the tubes mentioned
and fuse just add to the musicality and resolution .I started there
then went much further modding it monies well spent IMO.
