| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend I’ve owned the top Rockna Dac and also the Mola Mola Tambacqui. They are very good (I would not hesitate to own the Tambacqui again as it’s an extremely pure sounding Dac for solid state). However they are handily beaten by Aries Cerat. My budd... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Not in the same system- one of my buddies has the Pacific, another has the AC… | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui +1I don’t disagree- synergy is key…. In an all-tube system the Tambaqui dac could be great. Also the volume control on that dac is also very good. There are few dacs that have a very well implemented volume control. My Jeff Rowland Aeris dac (w... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui How many in this thread who are responding have actually owned a Tambaqui dac? I have…. It is a superb solid state dac- extremely low noise floor with excellent purity. Would I own it again? No question. However it was handily beaten in an A/B... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? As a 'dac only' in my second system, the Jeff Rowland Aeris with supercap PSU has upped the ante vs all my previous solutions- will add that it sounds amazing driving amps direct... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Just acquired the 'old school' Zanden Reference 4-box setup (model 2000 transport; 5000 Sig. tube dac- $44k combo when launched). Best solution after 25+ years digital only, but as a 'dac only' limited in resolution to the newer stuff- but oh so ... | |

| Rockna Wavelight thoughts? I owned the Rockna Wavedream Signature (top model) for a while along with the matching Wavedream Net server. Excellent dac that was a very close with the Mola Mola Tamaqui dac I had at the same time. There were plusses and minuses to each. That... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? I would transport myself back to 1984 and watch the Prince (Purple Rain tour) concert me and a couple of high school buddies were at all over again- it was amazing... | |
| Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty” hORNS by Autotek out of Poland are outstanding as well, and not shouty in the least. I have the Symphony model @ 95db efficiency- have run it with 211 SET/Aries-Cerat Incito S preamp; and Grandinote Shinai 37-watt pure class A solid state integra... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus? Helene | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus? Interesting how no one in this thread appears to have heard the Mola Mola Tambaqui extensively. I have owned it- wonderful dac- it took Aries-Cerat level digital to beat it... | |
| Aries Cerat Helena or Mola Mola Tambaqui? I've compared both in the same all Aries-Cerat system (I owned the Tambaqui previously). They are both fantastic- the AC Helene is more open on top with wonderful organic tonality. The Tambaqui counters with incredible purity; S/N ratio off the ... | |
| Inakistik LS-2404 Referenz AIR loudspeaker cables +1000 to everything written above. Having owned many excellent cables over the years, the Inakustik are really the next level and a true end game product. Superb detail retrieval in a completely unforced way along with stunningly natural harmoni... | |
