"DENAFRIPS incorporated in year 2012, focus in developing high end audio equipment at a very affordable price. Throughout the years of intense Research & Development, and continuous improvement of the product lines, DENAFRIPS had finally settled with the current product range equipped with R-2R ladder DAC technology.

I've got the bug for a new DAC. My Hegel HD30 is "very good" (and resolves more detail than you'd think 16/44.1 redbook could capture). But I'm hoping to get a more organic/liquid midrange and that sense of solidity from an R2R (or comparable) DAC. 

Besides the challenge of auditioning Denafrips DACs is one other challenge my system has... no preamp. And I've spent $$ on cables that I'd hate to have to buy a pre-amp *and* another set of cables just to be able to enjoy a fixed-output dac.

The Rockna wavedream and wavelight both can be purchased with variable output (and analog at that... not digital attenuation). I'm looking for input from you guys... both to see if anyone has a thought about these two dac families (Denafrips vs Rockna... has anyone compared??) but also, given my lack preamp at present, what's a wiser way to spend. My audio is 100% digital source.

Thanks!
