Not that I like tubes (far from it!), but would like to see the measurements on a run of the mill DAC with tubes or tube preamp. Maybe there is a review somewhere.

There's the Schiit Saga preamp review that I use for my Yamaha HS7 speakers here: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...easurements-of-schiit-saga-tube-pre-amp.6520/

Pretty decent 97 dB SINAD for a tube preamp IMO, and 119 dB SINAD under passive mode if you want the best transparency (given that there are no impedance mismatch between Saga and your power amp). Perfect channel matching due to relay stepped attenuator as a bonus
