Rockna Wavelight thoughts?


Rockna's new wavelight looks great at ~$5K, im guessing it sounds similar to the acclaimed big brother wavedream, very little reviews/impressions so far though, anyone have one or plan to order? im looking to try a good R2R. denafrips terminator was just OK in my system. i especially wonder how wavelight performs vs la voce s3 which is a similar price. couldnt find any dealers that would home demo the two. any other suggestions for +/- 5k?

@skanda  Interesting findings. If willing, feel free to post your findings / experience on the thread (linked below) where we are trying tease out whether the DAC or the streamer is "more important."

Thanks.
Some additional info on the AudioByte Vox stack. My understanding after emailing Mike Powell, the USA dealer. The Hydra has a power cable to the ZAP power supply. That unit powers the HUB and VOX units using supplied proprietary cables. So I see only 1 cable going out of the stack,  the other cables I regard like interconnects (that are supplied).

I am thinking of buying this stack unheard if it works with my new preamps professional-grade XLR connections. Some technical mumbo jumbo that I am clarifying with AudioByte.

I'm highly interested in both the Audiobyte Hydra Zap and the Rockna Wavelight dacs, so please guys (those of you in the position to do that) do share your impressions in as much detail as it is comfortable for you. Tone, timbre, frequency extension (especially in the highs), detail, micro- and macrodynamics, soundstage (especially width), PRAT... You know what I mean... Many thanks!
Hey Everybody,

I just received information that a Wavelight DAC  will be sent to me for a review for Stereo Times.  I'm very interested in what this DAC's performance level will be.  Hopefully, in the next two weeks, depending on when I receive it, I'll give some feedback about what I'm hearing.
@teajay , will wait to read your review. Will be an interesting read. Which other DAC will you be comparing with this Rockna?
