I have quite a large collection of high bitrate 24 and 32 bit audio and some gets quite fatiguing to listen to after as little as 10 minutes at my normal listening volume. The tubes I'm currently using opens up the soundstage, tightens up the bass (makes it more defined) and tone down sibilance and makes the sound a lot more pleasing on the ear.

You should know what I meant, the analogue output from a digital device, such as a CD player. Some companies trying to sell very expensive valve amps claim they are much better, what they really mean is there is a lot of profit for them.

If you know what you have and how to set it up then great, a lot don't even bother trying to find out. Standard around here is a cheap system from somewhere like Currys :(

Yes there is D/A converters of diffrent quality, you can spend a lot on just a D/A  https://phonobar.se/hifi/da-wandler/  Best sound would be, from an analouge master tape through a battery driven tube amp :) ( no Dac  needed ).
