Six DAC Comparison
@no_regrets - Yes, I wrote: "I recall a slightly dryer presentation from the non-NCZ version, that I do not perceive with the X SE NCZ or with the EVO Pro." That comment is part summation and part paraphrasing from notes I took and emails I tr...

@curiousjim - Sonore have been doing this for awhile now, an optical cable directly feeds the streamer, which is called their Signature Rendu SE Deluxe (optical). SGC is a good place to buy one or, directly from Sonore. I started using optical cab...

BTW all, I am still curious to hear a Holo Audio May KTE, and also a totaldac unity and would add write-ups on those DACs if I had the chance. If any Holo May KTE or totaldac owners out there are interested hearing a Mojo Audio DAC and would be w...

Thank you @curiousjim! I am listening to a new/upgraded Sonore Signature Rendu SE Deluxe Optical today - long name but great product and great people to work with for customer satisfaction.

@trentgordon - Thanks for the update.  It sounds like either choice is a win. Interesting that you were able to change the sound of the Aero with different tubes.  I believe Michael Lavorgna at Twittering Machines was planning to post a Part 2 to ... 
Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?
@soix  And BTW, an SU6 or Holo Red is far from SOTA as DDCs go.  The benefits I appreciate from a DDC are galvanic isolation, multiple output choices to my DACs, and lower jitter.  I have owned the Hermes and now the SU-6, and I am curious wha...

@viber6 - The Tambaqui is a very good sounding DAC and based on my time with it, more refined sounding and enjoyable to listen to than the Benchmark, which is still a bargain at it's price.  However, just because they both measure well, doesn't me...

Six DAC Comparison - The Wrap Ok, time to pick a winner - just kidding, but it is time to stick a fork in this. Something I learned during this DAC comparison is that good sounding equipment can be achieved in many forms, through many different ...

@curiousjim - No, interesting thought but this will not be a regular thing.  
Six DAC Comparison
Thoughts on Audio Equipment Reviews While researching information about each of the DACs I compared, I came to appreciate the reviewers who authored the reviews that I linked with my write-ups.  No different from my comments in this thread, none ...

I went back and read the OP’s original post from 10-2, as well as their one follow-up post from 10-3. I don’t believe the responses have addressed the OP’s actual questions. It seems the OP already owns an EVERSOLO DMP-A8 combination network stre...

@brbrock - at $3,959 the Musetec DA 006 should be a direct competitor for market share with Mojo’s Mystique Y that “starts” at $4K. In the next day or two, I will post a short “wrap” on how the six DACs ultimately compare with each other, at leas...
