Pls recommend tube DAC

A third thumbs up on the Paradisea+ USB.

Like is so often the case, there is no real interest in this post in recommendations of a tube dac, only of recommendations of a cheap tube dac. I would like truth in advertising.

I own the TADAC from Paul and it is fantastic. I also have the Music Fidelity XDACV8 and the TADAC is far more detailed with a better soundstage. Price is $900 and it comes standard with a volume control.

I heard the TADAC in my system and it really is exceptional as stated above....the "tubiness" knob is a pretty cool feature....

I agree with the TADAC- this is only my second DAC and my first tube dac. I originally had a Benchmark DAC1 and immediately put it up for sale when I auditioned the TADAC in my system. It is very detailed- huge sound stage and a great value.
