No, the tube version is d1-tube- mk2
Thank you again @Dukei for building this truly amazing amp! I’ll report back after more extensive listening and when those gorgeous Elna Silmic II caps are fully burned-in. Oh and it drives SR1a beautifully and sorry for the crappy pic, took it with my phone.
Congrats, Normie!!! It looks truly sublime in your setup and thanks for your initial impressions! I'm so excited to hear one!It’s here! Still tired from re-arranging everything, but paired with Manley 300B preamp, it’s love at first listen! I’ve never heard an SS amp this good. Initial impression reminds me of hi-end vinyl sound, everything flows so smooth but full of dynamics and impact. How can that be?? I have to say I like this a lot better than 13R. There’s a lot more weight to the sound and the crazy thing is the soundstage is huugeee, compared to 13R it expanded in every possible direction. Is this the holy grail of SS amp? Yes I do believe so. I have to concur with @paradoxper
Looks great! I'm curious if you plan on, at some point, feeding it directly rather than through the Manley to evaluate the sound without the tubes in place.It’s here!

Oh yeah I forgot to say thanks to you as well!!
I was planning to but re-arranging everything is a lot of work!
The space is a bit tight, so perhaps if I have the time I’ll try to do it. But so far I’m liking what I hear so no real motivation to try DAC direct to CFA3 
No need to thank me...Dukei is the man with the magic. I can't wait to get mine... He may post some pics of the build eventually. Otherwise, I'll throw some up when it arrives.Oh yeah I forgot to say thanks to you as well!!
Well it’s actually amber, but somehow it shows as yellow in the picture
yah I have the same one... not sure why I said yellow. photographs and colors all come across weird. anyways it looks great! enjoy and let us know what you think of it after you spend more time with it!Well it’s actually amber, but somehow it shows as yellow in the picture
Well no time to waste indeed!@normie610
I see that we are not wasting time here. You jumped straight to the most complex load you could find
