I asked this over in the DAC Amp threads and maybe Gary can answer this:

So let me try this again. Say we had a computer, into the solid state Db Labs dac, then a Dodd tube buffer, and then a 4800A or Cherry Jr., and then 87 db 4 ohm speakers.

Would the input and output impedances, gains, flavors, etc. allow the Dodd to actually control the volume???

Oh Yea!

And then some. It'll even sound awsome doing it!!!

Back in post #121 Jkelly asked if there were any pics of the insides of 1 of the buffers. Jason posted some links to the first 2 tube version. The new 1 is a single tube model. Have a look at what I spent the last 2-3 days building!

I reckon you can see whats on the inside with this baby!

What a pain in the you know what!! This is just a sample of what it will look like on the inside of a typical unit. It does not have to be this small. Oh yea, I did the remote the same way for those who wish to see whats in there.

You can see all the pics on the DIY page of my site, they will be on there shortly

Do you offer the acrylic enclosure in tinted colors?

This is not an offer it is just a sample so kit builders can see a finished unit. I am not going to make more of these, too much time involved for what I could get for it.
