    some ppl on here be buyin' 10K DACs, I don't disagee, I just like trying to finding the best sound for the best price. Piety with a smaller-footprint DAC also sounds f'ing slick, I should know—I still have that stack :)

    Is this a SFD-1 Mk2? I'm a firm believer in sub~1K gear also. (who isn't, but screw this price hike on plastic headphones)

    You and I are travelling a similar yellow brick road. Good to have a partner for the journey. Get yourself a pair of decent matched tubes and you should be able to dial in your bass / space pretty well :P

    ok - yeah, we are brotha's then - I do believe that is very close to what's in there. Too many tubes everywhere and I'm not even close to being a tube chaser.

    Budget is relative. Not knocking the Crack, but it seems like the tubes cost more than a Vali+ and PortaPro :P
