can you define what is meant by a "tube" sound. a dac that uses a tube either in the gain and/or as a buffer, may not have the characteristics of tubeyness, depending upon the definition.
for me i consider a tube sound that which embodies the sonic characteristics of the conrad johnson amps, like the mv45, mv 75 and mv 125. others would consider that sound, overly colored.
i don't know of any dac that has the character of a cj mv 125.
i think there is more to that sound than just a dac.
