Great stack! Have the exact same DAC and AMP. In your opinion, how does the Magni+ compare to the Piety, sound-wise?

The M+ sounds great and neutral, the MP sounds distinct. I prefer the MP sound because it is enjoyable to my ears. If you want just straight up as is or neutral sound, you might enjoy M+ more. They both sound great with the HD600 imo.

Yeah I prefer a tube-like euphoric sound. Hence why I got the Piety over the Magni+. I only wanted to go for the piety because I originally had a vali 2+ that was disappointingly not very tubey at all. The Piety is much more tube-sounding imo.

I pair my current stack with SDR modded HD800 if you were wondering.

Did you do any tube rolling with your Vali 2+? The hobbyists on Head-Fi have good things to say about the V2++ when you start tube rolling past the stock tube. Supposed to be a great little amp.

I have, and it changed the sound minimally. Nothing made it MORE tube-like imo.

RCA Command 5670 NOS was recommended to me. Another user told me they got the tube “holographic” quality they had been searching for when they tried that tube with the V2++. I have one of the RCA Command tubes and I’ll try it out when/if I ever get a V2++
