Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui

This is a brutal thread.  @laoman here are three thoughts beyond Holo May and Denafrips.  

I have not heard the EMM or the Mola Mola.  I am 100% certain both are brilliant but they just haven't made it through my space yet.  I am exploring expanding my DAC selection further and am seriously considering adding EMM.  We just added Playback.  

Playback has just introduced and is about to ship the new MPD-6 Edelweiss which is $15K without the built-in streamer.  The Streamer is $3K.  I have my sales sample on order and am just waiting for my bill from Playback and have been told to expect any day.  I have not heard it yet, obviously.  I have heard the Dream DAC and it is radically better than any of the $10K-$15K DACs I have heard in just about every way.  I expect the Edelweiss to be a step up from the Weiss, M1 SE, Dave, Wavedream Edition cluster of DACs but a step down from the Dream DAC.  

The Rockna Wavedream Signature is another DAC worth considering.  It is incredibly detailed and is so neutral and balanced the sound is difficult to describe.  The only critique is that it is so neutral, it can be a bit boring.  They are incredibly detailed with a monstrous soundstage.  

The MSB Discrete is also one worth looking at.  I have no relationship with MSB but have heard their DACs and they are worth your time.  Very musical and engaging.  Incredibly detailed but not bright or fatiguing in any way.  

Beyond EMM and Mola Mola, these are the three I would look at.  Good luck to you.  

I have not heard the Sonnet.  

With Playback - There has always been the option of the MPS-8 which is the Dream DAC plus player/streamer at $30K.  This is a full dream DAC with SACD Player and Stream X module.  

The MPD-6 is a lower end model called the Edelweiss.  It is not a Dream DAC and is spec'd differently but at $15K for the DAC and $18K with the streamer module, it will bring an elite level of performance down a price notch.  

You will see this updated on their website.
