Hi,> For the 211 what driver, what PS voltage?
You could use E810F or D3a or many others.
The 211 in a slight Class A2 Setup (Audio Note Japan Ongaku Style) needs no more drive than a 300B.
With an E810F driver you would need around 1250V +B and the 211 cathode will be at around 250V.
Power Output? Near 20 Watt I'd guess. The ANJ Ongaku claimed 27W.
I am not suggesting to build such a beast (there is however in my little black book a small design study, with a silver/permalloy TVC, a D3a Driver and full monkey/DRD style circuit with silver/permalloy anode load choke and silver/permalloy parallel feed output transformer plus silver parallel feed cap. Sadly the potential customer got way scared when all was priced out, so it remained a study.
As vhrynchuk points out, any 211 Amp (DC coupled or not) represents a substantial challenge and using one of the Super 300B's (or even just a plain 300B - I mean I get 16W from that alone) can get you as much power at lower voltages and with easier to get transformers etc...
I used the 211 example merely as illustration that there was no real limit to the full monkey design in principle.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
