Jolida FX Tube DAC

My 2 cents on tubes with the 502 and Jolida. The tube combo I liked the most was Mullard 12AT's and Mullard NOS 12AX's in the Pre and Northern Electrics in the Glass FX.

I moved the NE to the 12AX7 position on the 502 when I sold the DAC. The Mullard 12AX7's NOS ($$$) Were not the best for my ears, but when the NE were in the line, they were acceptable.

I am looking to replace the Jolida tube sockets - does anyone know if the sockets are PC mount?

Want to go with gold plated copper/teflon.

Thanks!

Hey all,

I'm resurrecting this thread before I get in touch with Jolida to see if anyone else can help me with it. I have a new FX Tube DAC III and tried out the USB/toslink connection from my MacBook pro the other night. However, though I configured the Mac's sound output to the Jolida (which came up on the output menu choices), I never got any sound; in fact, the DAC would make a few clicking sounds, but no music. I cycled through all three input options on the DAC, but to no avail.

Even more odd, youtube videos and my sound files would not play.

Any ideas?

All my connections from the Mac to the DAC to the integrated were complete, and the Mac played music through its own speakers after I unplugged the USB cable.
