If you havn't got a tube Pre-Amp you are missing out badly.
A Vincent SA-T8 if you are lucky enough to find one.

Maybe tube preamp
My current setup is Tidal; ifi nano DSD; Parasound HCA 2200 (recent purchase) ; Magnepan 1.7i
This arrangement sounds pretty good at low volume with most material. However I think it would benefit from a preamp. The ifi's output maxes out at 1.3 volts. I was thinking the warmth of a tube preamp would be a good match for this setup. Years ago I had a New York Audio Labs setup. I liked it but it save for the noise floor. My HCA 2200 is blissfully silent.
My budget is about $1,000
Advice?
