Got my BH Crack w/ speedball today! Finally seeing what all the fuss about (after all these years, and returning the massdrop BH crack kit back in 2014). Haven't even gotten to the tube rolling yet, and even when using the stock tubes I'm impressed. I'm surprised that the synergy with my iDSD as the DAC is greater than with my bifrost multibit, due to iDSD's warmer signature. Listening to norah jones actually gave me goosebumps and made my neck hair stand up! What are all your experiences in what kind of DAC's to pair with the Crack?
Someone in another thread mentioned some upgrades for the crack, including film caps, Valab 23 stepped attenuator volume pot, and a Triad c-7x choke. Where do I get these components? Do they make more of a difference than tube rolling?
If anyone's selling output tubes from the 5998 (TS/Chamtam) and 6080 (TS/Bendix) series and also input tube like CBS Hytron-JHY 5814a with flat grey/black plates, please let me know Let the tube rolling begin!
