The only problem was that the Krells didn't sound like music while the Wavelength DAC did.The last time I spoke about the sound of a Wavelength DAC was over 2 years ago.

didn't set it up well? There was no way that a 13.5 bit dac sounded better than a properly set up Krell or TEAC high end except when a listener prefers harmonic and intermodulation noises. Hence the valve output.
I know that you need silver and valves for the 'correct' sound. My Krell sounds fine in a balanced system.
I hope your fire insurance is paid up.

fully paid; I use mainly genuine Class A boxes.
My dCS dac is in a closed box and stabilises at exactly 70C, higher than some PCs. There is no fan and is a deliberate design choice.
I was making a joke. (See below.) Glad that your insurance is paid up. I wouldn't worry about your dCS gear. dCS is a quality company.

it is unusual for a class A output device to be encased in an unventilated enclosure. dCS seemed to have done this to keep dust out and to achieve a constant temperature environment.
Takes a bit of doing but the guy had a Cambridge PhD and worked on fighter radar signal conditioning and recovery.
