Aries Cerat Helena or Mola Mola Tambaqui?


I am deciding which dac I should take. Mola Mola(8000 euro) I can audition, Aries Cerat Helena (11000 euros) I can not, only direct sale. Mola has volume regulator, Helena not, but it is R2R with tubes like Lampizator, weighs 40kg oppose to 6kg of Mola. Mola is more commercially known and very very good reputation. Both have also reputation as a killer of very expensive dacs.  My system is Tannoy westminssters Roayal and tube monoblocks ith Se-833(similar to Wavac Se-833))Any thoughts or experiences with these dacs?

At the end I have bought Tambaqui, but if i get some more money laying around I will purchase Kassandra as well :) 
Hahaha totally agreed! My end game dac is a Kassandra II (when I have alot more $$ :p) Just watching youtube vids already enough to send me drooling to the moon :p Sometimes we end up wondering what good hifi should sound like, and I think something the Kassandra produces is what I would aspire to :)

The thing is, I am going from Tambaqui to tube single ended 80w monoblocks SE-833 and I think it had a great synergy this way..... going with great cables Kimber KS 1036 and KS 3038 bring so much resolution and natural and precise sound with so much air and 3d that I can not imagine to get more of that with tube dac.... but who knows 

Sounds great...yes, we already tubes in the system, that probably was a better step. Lovely music too...
