A friend home demoed the Tambamqui. He mentioned playing Roger Waters' Amused to Death recorded with "Q Sound" and the renowned spatial fireworks were completely absent. That's never happened with any other DAC he's tried. I know nothing about how Q Sound works, but does that tell us anything much?
Haven't had the pleasure of hearing most of the models on the OP's list, but I have to agree that the Aqua La Scala is fantastic, as are the Bricasti's someone else mentioned. Cheers,
Spencer
