Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

A touch off topic.

Hi Fred, Noticed your potential amps. I had the Jolida 1701A hybrid and 202A both. I was really suprised by how much different they sounded.

To my ear the Hybrid really didn't have much tube sound in the midrange. Really sounded much more like SS then tube. The amp for 50wpc though did have much better slam and bass then the 202A.

The 202A did have that tube magic midrange. I don't listen to Jazz much but what I did listen to sounded much better on 202A. Still the 202A wasn't as exciting as the 1701A and the bass was the typical one note.

Bottom line they are much different IMO so careful speaker matching will be important.
