Pacific Valve Dac 60...Tubes?


Recently found what I thought was a good deal on a dac 60 so I decided to give it a try with the duet as a source. Have only listened a short time(olympics have interferred)and so far am very happy.
This was a used unit and I have no idea of the condition of the tubes so am considering ordering a new pair. Would like to stay in the $100 range if possible. Any recomendations including source if possible appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry! Should have mentioned that.
According to the Pacific Valve site they are described as "6922/6DJ8".
This is my first experience with tubes. A bit of research showed there are many 6922's and 6dj8's. How does one know which are better? Also, is there a site that gives a description of the sound characteristics of different tubes and which can be substituted for which?
Thanks

A little more research shows the tubes to be Sovtek 6922's. Discussion reveals these are about the poorest of the 6922 so I am looking at a pair of Amperex ECC88 Holland A Frame Orange Labels. Just want to dip my toes into tube rolling so these will be used but tested. Any other recommendations would really be appreciated.

I own the non-Pacific Valve modified DAC-60 and replaced the stock Sovtek's shortly after acquiring it. While I noticed better bass response, improved system speed, and gained a fair amount of blackness by going with a DAC, something seemed to be missing. So, I went with a pair of JJ Tesla's from Upscale Audio at $30/each. These tubes were very smooth, airy, and made the Sovtek's seem congested. After reading a few glowing reviews on the Amperex 7308's, I figured that I'd give them a try. Wow! Where the Tesla's left off, the 7308's took them to another level. These are much more detailed and warmer sounding than the Tesla's. While they were $80/ea from Upscale Audio, they were well worth it. much more detailed and warmer sounding than the Tesla's.

Thanks for the suggestion. Hadn't even considered the Jan Philips. Will be keeping an eye out for a pair.

The 7308's are a bit pricey but from what you describe it sounds like a buy it now or buy it later. Might be best to just skip the in between and get close to the top. Will be watching for a pair.
Thanks to you both.
