The real purpose of a tube buffer is to match the driving component with a high input impedance and to output a low output impedance to drive long lines, or inputs with lowish input impedances. That's why it's called a "buffer" not a soundtubier. If the output stage on your CD player has a low output impedance, then you really don't need the thing. But sources with weak output stages, and higer output impedances, such as DVD players, cheapers CDs and tuners, can really benefit from such a device.
Tube Buffers worth it?
I own a SS Mac setup (352 with C41) with B&W 803S. It's sounds fantastic. I also have Musical Fidelity XRayV3 I am using as transport with DACV3.
How many out there have experience with X10V3 buffer or any other Manufacturer (Space tech, etc.).
Is there any tube add on that is going to make a significant improvement?
