"It’s clear that ARC has chosen to stick with a proven, conservative approach to digital playback and focus on its core competency: analog circuitry. The addition of tubes to the DAC9’s analog output section is an example of this, and it pays off in the sweet, detailed, organic sound that’s typical of ARC gear." - SoundStage Ultra
