Has anyone tube rolled their DAC 60?

Just curious to hear from anyone who has replaced the stock tubes. What type and what type of impact did it have on the sonics? Thanks!

I am using early 1960's Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8s on mine. Very smooth sounding. Perhaps a tad noisier but not audible at normal listening levels. Recommended!

Tried some Mullards, Amprex 6dj8's, and Amprex 7308's (green, orange, and PQ labels).

So far the PQ's get my vote. Nice detail/spatial cues. I especially like the way the highs are protrayed.

The green/orange label 7308's are close second (couldn't tell much of a difference between the two).
