Rockna Wavelight thoughts?

Hey yysantabarbara,

Both DACs are the antithesis of your Benchmark DAC3B. Both are much more fuller sounding regarding image density and have better tonality/colors then your DAC3B. I have reviewed both DACs that you are asking about, my review on the Wavelight for Stereo Times has been submitted but not yet published yet. Because the Wavelight is a solid state design it is slightly quieter then the Tubadour SE III that uses tubes in its analog conversion section. Both are great DACs.

Thanks Terry. I am leaning towards trying the tube one to go to the opposite extreme of the DAC3B. The DAC3B will still be the main DAC I use.

So many quality DACs these days.

Would the Wavelight be a good upgrade point from the Metrum Onyx? What is the consensus vs other r2r dacs? Is there a switchable OS/NOS option?
