I am of two minds regarding the tube buffer and want to experiment more when I get a new DAC to replace the M-Audio product. The buffer really does take the edge off of digital, but, sometimes, it seems to take the drive out of the music, too. I like a very broad range of music, but some of my favorite stuff is polyrhythmic jazz, with a lot of percussion energy. The buffer makes things in this system almost too polite. I have another X10v3 that I use in my home system, but there I also have the power supply upgrade. That, coupled with my home system just being a lot better than the office computer-based one and my frequent use of compressed files at the office, leads me to think that maybe the power supply is key to the buffer's value in a system.FWIW, this is the second X10v3 I've had in this system (the third I've owned, when added to the one at home) and both the first and this one have exhibited some popping that sounds like annoying "ticks" during playback. The first one has been in the shop for about six weeks now, with no return ETA, and the second one was just a few weeks old when the popping started. So, I am a bit concerned about Musical Fidelity's quality control and warranty service for these products.
