Hard pass. I do not need another single ended tube amp, especially not one with a built in DAC and in this price bracket. Donno bout y’all, but I tend to try and keep RF *away* from my valves, not smush it even closer.
That said, it is an attractive looking device.
FayneThe tube stage is only the preamp stage and those are twin triodes which can do push and pull functions from the same tube. The output stage is solid state class A according to the manual.
DavesworldSo is the $336 xduoo ta-20, w no dac, no b tooth, really a xlr balanced in and out, and a tube used in the headphone circuit. Or is the ta-20 model not real use the tubes effectively in the headphone path. Or is mp301 still better than a ta-20. Im a noob looking to get my first tubes.
