My K&K RAKK DAC MK II with the active output board uses the 6N6P. I replaced the MK II DAC board with the MK III and a few other parts changes. Several years ago I tried the 6N30 in the DAC, re-biasing the circuit for the tube change. I went back to the the 6N6P after a couple of weeks. The feeling was that the 6N6P had a more natural sonic presentation. I have versions of the 6N6P from several different vendors and while there are some differences in sound with the tubes, I never felt that there was any earth shaking variations between what I had available. I have done my share of tube rolling with my components over the years and I'm familiar with the process of evaluation. The 6N6P works great in this circuit and has the added bonus of being inexpensive as well.
