Of course. And they sound better still when the tube is a DHT. You
don't get all this do you. And since I'm convinced that you have never
in your life heard a DAC with a DHT output, forgive me if I remark that
you have very little basis for comment.

So, do tell me. In your opinion how does the tube stage influence the sound
exactly ?
