  It makes no sense to have the KT88 and 300B in the same circuit. Could it be that they have different switchable circuits?
 
There should be no discernible SQ difference between a S/N of 85db or 115db.

 
perhaps not, but it does mean very low noise floor for sensitive headphones.

It will be priced at a very affordable $ 26099.99 USD

Should go full on retro and use nixie tubes.

As far as anyone knows, it is an amp, in which case, DSD is irrelevant. 


Sorry, was just kidding around.  
 
I was sorta poking fun at the trend where someone will ask about a DAC doing DSD...  (no matter how great the DAC is, someone will usually imply that if it doesn't do DSD, then it's a deal-breaker)
 
Guess I need to get better jokes... my bad :)

I see: sort of like the 'hold my juice box' thing going on in reddit? Apologies.
