MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING

Interested in hearing about tube rolling experiences with the Orchid and other MHDT dacs, namely, the specific comparative sonic characteristics of the various 396a, 5670 and other compatible tubes used in the output buffer. My only experience is with the WE396a that Linear Tube Audio installed in my new Orchid.

I tried the 6SN7 with the converter in my Orchid and did not care for it. No experience with the 6922.

Tube Depot has the we396a 1958 “D” getter just in.  Or is it a Western Electric JW2C51?  I ordered one.  Let you know.

Curiosity Question
                             I have a DAC and Phonostage using E88CC's.
How does the 6SN7 find a usage in a Circuit that can use the E88CC, 6922, 6n23p Valves.
I would be keen to learn about this as an alternate option for my own trials.
