Please recommend a budget tube dac

Hi,

I just switched to a great solid-state integrated, but I want to regain that rich tube sound, to the extent that I can on my CDs. In addition, I am starting to delve into computer audio.

Right now I have a Music Hall CDP 25.2. I guess I could sell it, and get the Music Hall Dac and set it up with an old cd player with an optical out, and via my computer on the USB port.

Are there any options?

Thanks -- Marty

If you like the CD 25.2, then I highly recommend the DAC 25.2. It has the same sound, just better.

The stock unit was good, but I tweaked it by replacing the op-amps with OPA-627 from partsconnexion, and replacing the stock feet with 3 spikes. The new op-amps made it more musical, and the spikes cleared up a slight haze/peakiness.
