I had great sounds from the Aesthetix Romulus CD Player. I believe their Pandora is the identical DAC,,,
Tube-based DACS: Positive? Negative?
Tube-based DACS: Positive? Negative?
I’ve been desiring to interject some of the desirable characteristics of vacuum tubes into a fully SS system.
Are there users out there who have positive experiences with tube-based DACs in this regard?
Such offerings by Lampizator, Prima Luna, and others seem to present some interesting solutions. Would love to hear your feedback.
Thanks :)

davkobza Negative, If you want to color the sound, do it with a tube pre or buffer, that way you can take them out if you feel you want no coloration. Even better get a Schiit Freya pre that way you have 3 sounds in one "passive" "tube" or "solid state" Cheers George |

Your correct it does use tube rectifiers in the dac The BorderPatrol DAC uses a R2R DAC chip with no over-sampling and no digital filtering fed from a very sophisticated choke input, tube rectified power supply to produce one of the most natural, ’un-digital’ sounds it is possible to hear.But to me it’s a very strange thing to say, that it’s the reason "why" it’s got "un-digital" sound.
