In short... it adds the tube sound to your solid state system.

Probably the cheapest way to find out is with the Tubalizer from AudioDigit.

I used to have a MF X-10v3 in my system, that made a pretty
good job. But when I upgraded my speakers and power amp
I sold it cause it did nothing anymore. I mean whether it was
on or off the chain, no difference. So, my conclusion is that
a buffer (at least the one I had) is good for upgrading lower
cost systems.

ps. It was the only tube component I had and my new
power amp is also ss
