Transport for MHDT Havana

So, I've decided. It'll be a CEC TL1. I heard one of those years back and really liked how that sounded. Granted, it was with Thiel CS7.2, driven by some very large and expensive VTL's, but that sound was glorious. My experience with the Havana so far has really moved me much, much closer to that and once the CEC get's here, I really hope that is yet another step towards that.

Audiojan...I think you'll really like the TL1. I have a TL2 and it's the best transport I've ever had in my system.

I have a TL-2X with a couple mods from here, which takes these transports to an esoteric level, without changing any of their inherent, original character.

who sells the Havana in the us

also, I had a nos dac, an it lacked bass response. is the havana fully extended in the bass ?

To answer your question Mr. Tennis it is not fully extended in the bass which may conincide with your listening impressions of NOS dacs in general. It is a wonderful little DAC though. I don't currently use it but can't bring myself to part with it. A bit lacking in detail but conveying the musical message in a most natural and convincing matter, better than most of the more resolving digital devices I've personally owned. It is just wonderful in the midrange, particularly with voice and has a fullness and flow that many DACs I've listened to don't capture. I think, based on your posted preferences, would really like it. I purchased mine directly from MHDT in Taiwan. Ordered it late Thursday afternoon and received it the following Monday. I don't believe there is a dealer network in the US for this product. It has been superceded by the Stockholm I believe.
