I use an Eastern Electric Minimax DAC with a Kavent S33 solid state preamp and a pair of Red Dragon M1000 solid state monoblock amps during the summer. This set-up finally made Class D amps very very enjoyable in my system. Got great bass in my system and vocals that weren't dull. What tube DAC and other gear do you have in your system? What gear are you looking at?

Its all about synergy between components. One compensates for another since there are no absolutes. your room, your ears, your gear. My Modwright pre-amp has subtle tube overtones but is not very "tubey" with the tubes I have in it. Too many of one thing is bad, but just the right amount...... You will have to experiment yourself.
