Hi Brian / Russ
I have ridden a BII with an output stage Legato v3. It sounds fantastic!
I'm thinking add a valve output stage. Something like "Minimax Plus DAC." I think this dac does change through relays.
Please, I have a couple of questions:
- What is the disadvantage of introducing a relay (TQ2-5V) between the DAC output and input of the output stage?
- Is it better to use switches instead of relays? If the damage is the same, I prefer to use relays because the distance the signal cable would be shorter.
Probably best not to do this but I want to know what will happen if I do.
Thanks!
Al

I can't see a good way to do it with either relays or switches without serious compromises. You will just have a very long route from DAC to output stage, and that is not a recipe for success. :)
The best idea is to listen to one output stage at a time. :)

Thanks for your response Russ.
I suppose to do, the less drastic way is to use the relay. The signal path to the legato stage would be 6 cm. and even the stage of tube 15 cm.
A relay with a diode can damage the chip dac for a rebound?

the problem is in the relay or the length of the signal path?
