This and the earlier X10-D are fine if you:(i) have a 1985-95 multibit cdp that is typically harsh and grainy in the treble but otherwise produces acceptable sonics.
(ii) have an amp input that is not optimally loaded for the output of your cdp.
(iii) can't afford to upgrade both cdp and amp at this time.
When you can afford the necessary upgrades the tube buffer becomes redundant and can be gracefully retired, or sold to another impecunious starter. I don't think it was ever designed to fit into a modern high-end system and I'm not surprised to hear that it may have deleterious effects therein.
