I am eyeing a similar model-Japan. Actually many of their products. Popular here in Japan. The Japanese model is slightly different. Tubes ECC-88(6DJ8) guessing Sovtek. Dealer recommends & distributes EAT for 300B amp, did not ask about the CDP. I heard the CDP thru a line amp into the AS-300B MKII with stock tubes. Was very impressed. Got me re-considering the Uni/SACD route, was strongly considering the DV-50 now at $3,500. The Cayin CDP runs about 1/2 at $1,750. But only CD/HDCD.
Curious what tubes are recommended for replacing the stock Sovteks on the CDP?
Any other advice, interconnects, etc... I will be running into a tube-pre-amp.
