Funny you should mention that dac as I am seriously considering that one as the top contender.I have the Soekris 1421 R2R DAC - LF339i scales well with decent upstream gear.

La Figaro, despite its price, is absolutely top sounding amp and benefits from a good DAC. I paired it with MHDT Orchid dac and got really smooth analog sound. It is good for jazz and instrumental music. For other genres You may want to look for something more neutral. La Figaro will reflect the quality of a DAC for sure.
Hi guys, I’ve been really enjoying the 339i what a great amp, I decided to try the pre outs into a few different ss Amps with my he-500’s but I’m getting a loud buzzing from the pre outs, I’ve changed power cables/power sockets ect and s also different sources, any thoughts on what it might be, it’s completely fine as a headphone amp, I’m still using the original power tubes
Cheers Marty
Thanks.Wow, nice collection You have out there
As for the tubes it all depends what one would like to achieve. I used to like RCA 6as7G (warm power tubes) with Tung Sol 6sj7 mesh driver tubes.
Looks like you could give Zeos a run for his money, lol.Thanks.
I haven't mentioned nice Svetlana 6N13S =C=, that actually are quite good for the price.
Benedix 6080WB are awesome. TungSol 6080WB with Graphite plate, Mulard or CEG CV2984 are hardly regarded too.
Some pictures of another side of my room, to show off my real headphone's dedication.

…so many chores…Looks like you could give Zeos a run for his money, lol.
So many headphones...so few ears...
Hi, I’ve changed all the tubes with mullards & RCA’s but no joy, it’s currently with an engineer, I’ll let you know the outcomeTry different tubes. I am not talking about faulty tubes. Different tubes have different impact on the preout.
If they are all noisy, I recall the preout was an experiment
There are two of the four elements of the system.
The amplifier arrived today, after many months of waiting.
La Figaro 339i tube amplifier (with RCA and Mullard tubes) and a CHORD QUTEST DAC.
The next step is to select the headphones.
Options: Hifmann Arya, Sennhaiser 800s or Audiotechnica ATH-ADX5000. (Which would be the best???)
I mostly listen to classical music and jazz.

在之前的近10次修改测试中,该产品将很快发布。
It is the problem of electric arc generated by the electron tube.Worrying.
I warmed up the new amplifier for a couple of hours last night. I turned it back on this morning, and within a minute, two very loud sharp shot-like sounds came out of it. There was no smell or smoke, no light. The tubes are lit.
What can it be?
