Squeezeboxes and DIY transmission lines

[penance]

Tom, I'll be very interested to hear your view on the scott nixon dac, is the tube buffered version?

 

[Tom Alves]

I've read many fine comments about the Scott Nixons. What made you decide on the Chibi Saru as opposed to the TubeDac?

I'm familiar with solid state and I've had very little exposure to valves. Also I think the Chibi is what Michealab has and the opinions above would suggest the solid state is quite "warm" in feel anyway and I like that dry Naim sound.. SN is redesigning the SaruDac so that's not available.

I went for the additional off board PSU 'cos my "Naim" habits die hard.

the chibi isn;t exactly what michael has but very, very similar.
i'd be very interested in what you recon to it when you get it - did you audition anything else or is this a blind leap of faith?
cheers

Tom,

Best way to go with these, a decent psu certainly brings them up a notch, and thankfully the sound isn't dry
