Hi Warmglowingtubesart
I've had the Jolida Tube DAC and Tube DAC 2 for some time now. I'd say its performance was on par with the Eastern Electric MiniMax DAC or the Schiit BiFrost Uber when I had them. I can't find the notes I took when I did the comparisons but in my system I found all the DACs to be pleasant sounding with no edginess. I just kept the Jolida because of the flexibility it has. With the Jolida Tube DAC or DAC2 you can use pairs of 12AU7, 12AT7, 5751 and 12AX7 tubes in it with no problem. You can tube roll and customize the sound to your liking with whatever tubes you have.
