" My friend plans on leaving the system on 24/7 so tubes are a no go."

I was surprised at the apparent non-wear I experienced with a Manley DAC years ago. Just for grins. I left it on 24/7 to see when the tubes failed or wore out. Like the Park Audio, it used a pair of inexpensive dual triodes and found that after a year using some NOS RCA tubes, it sounded pretty much the same.

I found a pic of the Budgie's board and see two op amps and four transistors so it appears to be a hybrid design.
