Alex,

The MF X10v3 tube buffer acts like a tube DAC that AJZepp is currently thinking about using with his Denon. I was quite surprised at the difference when I first installed the MF into my system. Warm mids and clearer highs while reducing or eliminating all edginess to the CD. Others will say using the MF is system dependent and if it doesn't work in your system you could easily sell the unit off for probably the same price your paid. I have mine installed between my Outlaw and Parasound so all sources benefit including AM/FM which sounds richer with the MF installed if that is any help.
