Tubes need replacement every 3-5 years depending on use. The lab sells matched quads from their own NOS (New Old Stock) cache of Russian 6N6P and Western Electric 300B variants. In a shocking move for an analog purist, Maharaj Audio Labs recently announced the Kali DAC . However, true to form, it is not a delta-sigma chipset DAC. It is a R-2R ladder DAC with no digital filter and no op-amps. The Kali uses a 16-bit architecture—explicitly rejecting 24/192 hi-res.
