A Top DAC


My MSB Analog DAC has gotten a bit long in the tooth; it’s eight years old now!  It’s a great DAC but I’m ready to move up the ladder a few rungs.

On my short list are these newer generation DAC’s:

MSB Premier DAC
DCS Rossini 
‘Lampizator Pacific DAC
Mola Mola Tambaqui

Have you compared any of these DACs?  Got a favorite?

throwing in my rec here as i recently went through a dac serach. for me and my system, i found the rockna wavedream signature to be very nice and then when paired with the rockna wavedream net it really just went to a new level. i'm done looking at digital front ends (i'm 100% digital btw). 

please dm me if you have further questions but here's a quick description of what i'm hearing: i'm getting vinyl like tone and texture with a beautifully large soundstage. detail wise, i would say this is up there with any dcs or msb but i run mine on the hybrid filter which is more reminscent of the msb sound. the designer used to use and design msb modules but now he is creating them in house. it doesn't have the beautiful chassis of a dcs or msb but thats where you save some money too. i couldn't be happier with my purchase. (it feeds a soulution 721 pre which goes into a symphonic line kraft 300 that power s5 mk2's)
