A little info about the Indeed and Yaqin tube bufers.
I've been searching for info on different tube buffers (which are more flexible than a tube DAC or amp, since then You can get both the fast SS sound and the coloured tube sound), but found only reviews on the Yaqin and MF buffers. Then I found that user ddoingwell has both Yaqin and Indeed, and...- nopietns

Flat-earth DAC's
Hi, I've been reading lots of reviews of DACs lately, but really few mention PRaT, focusing on the details/soundstage and other (mostly round-earthed) sonic qualities. Does that mean there are actually no flat-earth DACs out there? Or am I missing something here?- nopietns
