Any experience here on "Tube" sound mode on the Master 9 models?

It's a long way from the real Tube.

my guess, a bit softer or rounded overall?

The Master softens the upper mids a little, but this is perceived as a dirtier sound, unlike a tube amp.
The Master truly shines, but not with digital sources.

A DAC needs DI-24HE... just guessing.

I think this is useless, since Kingwa talked about the slight difference between the built-in converter in the R7HE MK2 and the external one.

Well something isn't right then because a good digital source shines.
