Vintage 6922 Recommendations for DAC/DAP Output Tubes

Posted by Fullrun on July 2, 2012 at 16:11:58:
Would appreciate 6922(or CCa, 7308, E188CC, etc.) recommendations from those of you who have especially used them as output tubes either in your DVD players and/or USB DAC/DAPs.

I want to avoid those that tend to warm or cloud. I am looking for those that will offer greater transparency, dimension, and detail - and still be smooth (even sweet) at that top.

For what it is worth both my preamp and amp are tube designs.

Your feedback will be very helpful and appreciated. It's an expensive investment and I want to narrow it down to those tubes that will produce what I am after given the price tag.

Thanks for you time and thoughts on this.

Appreciated.
