” Unlike the upsampling-rate feature, the sonic differences between the tube and solid-state outputs were easily discernable regardless of the source, sample, or bit rate. Part of this was due to the differences in output levels–the tube output is several dB less loud than the solid-state output. However, even when their relative levels are equal, the tube output sounded softer and sweeter, but with less dynamic punch and low-bass control and extension. The tube output also had a slightly richer lower midrange and upper bass, as well as a less analytical perspective overall. My own personal preference the majority of the time was for the solid-state output, but on aggressively mixed pop music, the tube output was a useful and welcome alternative.”
