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

Yet more tube DACs. Just adding to the list,

George Mark Audio's First Overture, two chassis unit uses four 6922 tubes, $6K. From a German company, MalValve, the “tubeDAC four” very serious high end unit, has sixteen tubes, weighs over 40 pounds, has outboard power supply; priced around 12,000 Euros. From the Italian company Lector Audio, the DigiCode 2.24 with Burr Brown DAC and four tube output ECC81s full balanced circuitry; has wood side panels, the style is reminiscent of another Italian company Sonus Faber. From Japan, Softone Inc., “Model_2 TUBE Digital to Analog Converter” Burr-Brown DAC, two tube output stage. And, yet another low cost unit from China, the Fournier DAC-2 one tube per channel. $250

On the defunct brand list add the AudioLogic Co. tube DAC from the late Jerry Ozment who passed away in 2010. The AudioLogic shows up on the used market from time to time.

I think we're up to or maybe over thirty brands of vacuum tube DACs by now and still counting.
