@lalitk Congratulations on your purchase of BP. It’s a fine sounding DAC and appropriate for pairing with decent streamer like Vault. I am currently using a SS DAC, which I am extremely happy with. There are no valve components in my system. If I ever choose to go valve route, picking a Lampizator DAC like GG2 would be my first choice.
Thanks for the note. I won't have it for at least a few more weeks. Being built now. I sold off the last of my tube dacs prior to this. In my situation, I'm not a fan of tubes directly in the signal path for my DAC setup. The BP SE-I DAC associates the tube as a rectifier for the power supply part of the circuit, and not directly in the signal path itself. Something I prefer, as with the rest of my system being all-tube. It may be a dac to rotate in/out adjacent to another dual-chip NOS solid state dac. Will be interesting to compare. Thx
