RE: Wavelength Crimson

Yeah. Apologies to Wavelength, but I don't really care about the DAC. While I can appreciate the way tubes enhance sound, I don't personally want deliberate enhancement in a digital to analog converter, or any source component. But that's subjective. The statement that tubes continue to be the lowest distortion amplifying elements ever made is not subjective. It's a statement that begs for verification of some kind. Especially given that even the most expensive tube amps seem to measure at much higher rates of distortion than a sub-$300 Yamaha receiver. I'm not saying the Yamaha sounds better, mind you. That's between you and your ears and what's between your ears. I'm just curious about where that evidently objective observation of distortion characteristics came from.
