Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC?
Instead of a tube DAC, there is something organic about an R2R DAC. I've had a Denafrips Terminator 2 for the last three years and for me it's been a game changer! The rest of my systems far out classes in price but having a really good source is ... 
Living With A Class A Tube Amp
@jrcotner I'm also an owner and purchased a Rogers KWM-88 two and a half years ago and I absolutely love it! Coincidentally, I also replaced a Prima Luna Dialogue, which I still have. I'm pushing a pair Focal Sopra 2s and the results are absolutel...
