I do like what valves are doing with music. Today I have Croft Pre and PowAmps.
I'm thinking of an intermediate step on the way to J. Westlake FDAC (2020,2021).
The goal is anyhow, to reduce the box count. From todays 3x PowAmps activ speaker solution to a Hypex activ speaker solution solution. Speaker stays the same ;-)
So the idea is to buy a DSD capable valve DAC .
Must be:
Since only as a thought model / interim solution thought the limit is 1500 EUR. Gladly used too.
Are there any useful suggestions on the subject? ( And please NO! FDAC/ J. Westlake discussions!)
Thank you

So the idea is to buy a DSD capable valve DAC .
Must be:
- loss-free volume control
- balanced outputs
- balanced Headphone input
- DSD capable
- black
- asyncron USB port
