I’ve only heard of Mola Mola TAMBAQUI DAC until your post about the Makua preamp, so I researched both the Makua preamp and the KALUGA MONO POWER AMPLIFIER. The Makua reviews were impressive and their optional DAC and phono are surprisingly very high sonic quality. The Kalua was also a surprise- as massive but controlled feedback yields an “effortless” sound in which I’m after. Last time I heard “effortless” was when I heard Gryphon Commander + APEX at an audio show, but it’s way past my budget. Thanks for sharing.
