You'd like your digital to sound more like vinyl?

I was faced with that dilemma a couple of years ago. After much research and comparative listening I decided on an NOS tube DAC. My choice was the ANK 2.1, and since I'm not a kit builder I ordered mine from ANK as an assembled unit from their builder Pete Fulton (digitalpete) with the upgraded Duelund capacitors.

Fantastic analog sound along with superb customer service from Pete Fulton. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

IMO, all the talk about measurements is hypothetical (do they REALLY know what to look for?) when compared to actual listening. That's where an NOS DAC thrives. Try one out if you can.
