Original d'Atelier register

[eualp]

Hi, I own #008 from Singapore. Happy to chance on fellow owners of the OdA. A special shoutout to Tategoi and Jerry from Singapore! Recently noted one set of OdA on resale in SG, is that either of you?

I am very new into this forum and still navigating my way on this. Could I ask if any of you tried tube amps with your Devialet or is it even possible? Honesty, I love the OdA as a all in one system and the convenience. I stream a lot via TIDAL, but I wanted to experience more of audio via vinyl etc.... feel that I am missing out not fully experiencing it. I am toying whether a tube amp can compliment with the OdA versus having to change out entirely ie get a tube amp and preamp and DAC. That would cost quite a bit and the huge loss on the OdA. Any comments and sharing is much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum mate,
If you want a warmer sound, you can always put a tube DAC in front of the Od'A. Some would say it's crazy do go digital to analog to digital to analog but if it sounds better to your ears, then why not? Putting your speakers a little closer to each other can have a similar effect and that you can try for free. Give it a go, you never know.

Thank you Pim for the welcome and suggestion. Never thought of that. Will definitely put that in consideration.
