At this point, I find myself pretty firmly in the R2R DAC and Tube Amp camp. This video features a couple of the best tube amps that I have had the pleasure to listen to, the Feliks Audio Echo MK1 and the Quicksilver Headphone Amp. The Quicksilver is my new fav, but I could see some people leaning toward the Echo for reasons I outline in the video. Links to the manufacturer sites below if you want detailed specs.
