DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
In a pathetic suggestion that probably is off-target - I have heard a great deal of praise for, but have I not heard, the Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC -its solution is not FPGA or chip-based - see https://www.mola-mola.nl/tambaqui.php Thanks- Gerry |
I for one have not the slightest idea what I should be expecting to hear from you after the test is over. I must applaud the endeavor. DACs are where the biggest improvements are happening fastest. Magazines have adv. biases and long lead times which serve no one. I want yours review to be informative and successful. Now that I see your price range of $4k-$6k I am more excited as that level of expenditure should produce some great sound. Not Mola Mola stuff but that is double your test range. I own an obscure brand of DAC that I love. One question- Have you listened to AudioNote DACs? They make one in this range. albeit a kit. |
Hi OP, I would be extremely interested if you could somehow get your hands on an Mojo Mystique V3 or one of the newer models. They are in a similar price range. I am looking for a modern replacement for my ancient Wadia 15 (redbook only) DAC, which despite its age is a hard act to follow. Lots of love for the Mystiques with which guys have replaced their Bricasti and Bekeley units. A friend of mine owns a Bricasti (M1 I think) and tells me it's great but does not play well with all front-ends. This is a big undertaking you are getting into here, good luck. |
