Wolfbane Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Never owned a Jolinda but I have owned 3 CDP's that use tubes either full time or switchably with SS. I prefer the tube sound on two of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Chip is maybe 20 % of the situation. Power supply, op amps, transport, firmware and others. In my DAC....I rolled different tubes and upgraded to discrete op-amps to get a sound that I wanted. Lotta fun. I would like to pay someone to upgrade the OP amps in my MSB Link. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 The opamps in my DAC are simply 'plug and play'. Yours are different? Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk I will have to experiment with my older Link II MSB DAC. I have a back up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
