xDuoo MT-603 Pre-Amplifier (tube buffer / audio switch) review

Why do you want to tweak with hardware purchases rather than eq?

I just plugged in the Apogee Duet 2 balanced outs to the Fosi ZA3 and the sound is great, I just had to lower the DAC output to -10db

I give up on tube anything for this setup right now.

Lots of ways to get great sound with today's gear. Tubes are not something I'd want. EQ is more effective than changing hardware generally, tho.

I am using the SMSL DL200 DAC balanced out instead of the Apogee Duet 2 and it sounds a bit better. Volume set to 70. No more tubes.
