Happy Listening!

I listen mainly to vinyl. However, for the past two months, I have made a concerted effort to enhance my digital listening experience. I added a tube DAC  to a vintage Wadia 16 CDP. The DAC is from Marvalve, a boutique maker from Taiwan.

See review here:  https://www.head-fi.org/threads/review-marvalve-model-two-dac-vs-benchmark-dac2-hcg.884440/.

For the first time in a long while, I have spent considerable time listening to CD's. For the first time, vinyl sounds different but not better than digital. The soundstage is as wide and deep, pianos are played with more weight, and no audible drift from the Marvalve DAC2.  It uses two 6922's in the gain stage with no feedback, very impressive!

My vinyl gear include a Verdier La Platine, Trans-Fi and ZYX Ultimate 100 combination.   

Yes, my Audio mirror Tubadour III tube DAC improved soundstage, resolution, and added 'air' to the presentation.  

Jolida, before it was Black Ice Audio, made a great sounding tube CD player. It took a pair of 12AX7's and rolling tubes really changed the sound to what you liked.

If I'm not mistaken, the Ah! Njoe Tjoeb mentioned above was designed by the people or person who does the Primaluna tube DAC and/or CD player. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
