Tube buffer for an Oppo BDP-83

I hope I'm not hi jacking this thread. Would a Jaqin tube buffer benefit me coming from a cd player even though I have a McIntosh tube preamplifier

Many Thanks,
Robert

Maybe not quite the same, but I have an Opp DAV-H and I output the digital feed into my old CAL Sigma tube DAC. I run the Sigma into my ARC LS-3 preamp and I'm getting beautiful sound from the DVDs (I am running a Doge 6 for red book CD). Right this very moment I am enjoying an Anita Ody DVD (Anita Ody Live in 1963 & 1970, Jazz Icon DVD) via the Opp/Sigma and the sound is PURE GOLD!

Sorry, make that an "Oppo DV-980h" and "Anita O'Day".......Spell Check, oy.....

MrTennis, where and when can we see your review of the oppo 83 special Edition. Thanks.

I don't really like tube buffers. I've tried the Musical Fidelity X-10 some years ago and hated it.

Transparency is very important for a buffer and the last thing you need is an active gear that distorts your music even more.

On the other hand, I like the Burson buffer.

I saw a used one selling here before. ..
