Sinister Strat
DAC list
A company called ART (not certain) once offered a multi function DAC/ADC with a bit rate converter and a 12AX7 vacuum tube (dual triode) buffer stage primarily for musicians; ie it had 1/4" (yuk) jacks. I use this in an effects loop just to add some tube warmth to my CD listening experience. It was less than $200.00 and I love it......Also somewhat spiritual to watch the 3 color LED level indicators in the dark. I think it was called "DI/O" I realize how goofy it seems to add 2 superfluous conversions (from analog to digital and back again) to the audio path, but my ears approve. The tube "warmth" is adjustable......froogAL
