Aero DAC by Linear Tube Audio - experience

I am looking for other Audiogoners input and feedback.  Feedback from people that tried it and bought something else after trying it.  As well as Audiogoners that bought it and use it.

I have read it is fantastic value, compare to Audio Note 4.1.  My impression it is a wonderful to have a tube dac with a streaming service as it creates a nice warm analog like sound to digital input.

Thank you!!!

Glad to hear that, @hoodjem. Isn’t it nice when the universe smiles on you?

Absolutely yes.

(It doesn’t happen too often, but when it does I pause to appreciate it.)

I have the Aero now for a few months and the tubes can make a difference. Mine came with GE 12SX7 tubes and I found those to be sterile sounding. I then tried the Ray Reserve 6SN7 and they sound better, but not quite as good to my ears as my NOS tubes. Currently I have been switching between Sylvania 6SN7GTs, RCA 12SN7's and Brimar CV1988's. The RCA and Brimar tubes help tame harsh digital.
