RE: CD Player Upgrade / DAC Thoughts - Sanity Check

I don't think you necessarily need a DAC with tubes if the rest of your system contains tubes. My favorite DAC is the April Music Eximus DP1, which retails for $3200. It is transparent and accurate.

My criteria for determining transparency and accuracy are digital recordings of vinyl. I use an Alesis Masterlink to copy vinyl records at 24/96. I can do A/B comparisons and the digital copies sound just like the LPs to me. When I playback the 24/96 files with my April Music Eximus DP1, they also sound just like the LPs when played on my Sota Millennia Vacuum turntable. Therefore, I would highly recommend you check out the April Music Eximus DP1.
