Hawk28, I just posted on your duplicate thread. I should add that I own the Havana and depending on the tube you can tighten up the bass a lot. The comparisons I read on the Octave and EE Dac thread said the Havana was much more organic and not as strident as the EE Dac. The impression I got was that the EE Dac was more detailed but not as Analog sounding. This is just from reading, I have not heard the EE Dac.
Good Luck,
Greg
