Tube Dac to Tube pre?

Hi Steve,

From your description, yes, it should be do-able. Your DAC should have analog outputs...RCA, XLR or both. Either of these could go directly into your preamp analog inputs. Just remember to check what analog outputs your DAC has...and what analog inputs your preamp has.

Doable yes, introducing more variables than are wise also.

Thanks.
Dac and pre have rca so that should cover.
Schubert, you mention "more variables than are wise" and I would appreciate your explanation. Tubes are new to me. Are you saying that having two components with tubes may not match up well?
Thanks for the replies.
Steve

I enjoyed a tube dac to a SS preamp to a either a SS or tube amp. Schubert is very right about the additional variables. I like having somethings I can't easily change in my systems.

I have used Tubey dacs with SS amplification, i think it adds the magic of tubes with the benefits of a SS.

Like an hybrid solution.
