You could go with a Schiit Bifrost 2/64. It's a non fatiguing sound with exemplary resolution and sound staging. This into a tube system.
You have some pretty nice gear according to your profile - some are my all time favorites in their class like the Cary SLP-05 and the Cary CD 303T. The SLP-05 was my all time favorite tube preamp and the 303T was my favorite vacuum tube CDP which I thought was better than some of Cary's higher-end tube CDP's. Nice! P.S. The only Cary piece that you have that didn't work out for me was the Rocket 88. I think it was a little under powered for my needs at the time.
Agree, the SLP05 is something of a special sound that is magical. The 303t is mainly used with a laptop into the DAC as the disc drawer is unpredictable. The Bifrost is being used with a Cary (AES) 6sn7 Pre into a Dennis Had Inspire single ended amp that can use about any octal power tube for a variety of sound signatures. The Bifrost is on par with the 303t and cost a lot less than the older Cary.
I think I mixed up the Cary 303T with the 303/300 that I owned. I had the 303/300 and the more entry model 308T. I preferred the 308T.
It's interesting that you put the Bifrost on par with the DAC in the 303T. That's pretty high praise for the Schiit.
I'm very happy with the Bifrost 2/64. I've used it in my headphone system and my regular 2-channel system.
Regards,
Steve
