Tubes add distortion. I prefer accuracy. You mistake distortion for "musicality". That is not what the source material producers wanted. I want to hear the source material as the producers intended!

Has anyone had any experience with this particular tube buffer? This is a " ....I can't stop tinkering..." question for sure. I use an Electrocompanient ECM Dac/Streamer which is very very nice. But recently while shopping for a dac for my second system in my office I listened to a tube dac and upon return home to my ECM noted that the tube dac added texture and overtones to voices and made woodwinds sound more "woody" for lack of a better description. I have had several dacs and really do not want to replace the ECM. So I wondered if adding a tube buffer might nudge the ECM towards the tubed dac's sound. As always thanks in advance for your insights.
