    Justin bought his from China.
    There's a seller in Belgium for a good price atm https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_o...a&_sacat=14969

    I've just bought another one - I need a headphone amp now that the Behringer has died anyway - I sold my first a while back.

    I bought this one cos it came with a Bluetooth receiver: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XiangShen...72.m2749.l2649

    If you want it quickly you can pay $30 for FedEx and that was quite quick TBH.

    There's also DAC-02A which is no good for nobheads. not sure what the difference is apart from that but I haven't analysed it, so not surprising. And DAC-03A which has ELNA caps (good sounding caps from experience) and 192K. But Firebottle doesn't rate the valve output in that one, if I have him right.

    I have 1 spare WE and 1 Sylvania Gold Brand valves for the Xiang going spare but the snag is they aren't cheap. PM me if interested. I'd need to check but I think they came to around £35 each after import taxes etc.

    Or just wait til I tell you which is best

    5670 valves (for the DAC-01A)
    - I have RCA, Raytheon, Tesla
    I've a feeling I sold my unit with my favoured valve in it - I shall have to check back in this thread to see if I can identify what it was!

    In fact I have 2 Raytheon - must have come as a pair.
    So if you want to try one, Grant, I can pop it in the post.

    Mind you, in my system I preferred the solid state output.
    -- so you can have a play with them all if you want, Grant.
