Check out Schiit's Ragnarok integrated amplifier. It has an option to include their R2R DAC card. I have that DAC in their Lyr 3 headphone/preamp and it is a very good DAC.
Has anyone tried the Aavik U-180, U-280, or U-580.
Outstanding gear, specially the latest.
Neverthless i opted to buy the respective separates: Aavik I-580 and Aavik D-580.
Amazing human, organic, natural and lifelike sound.
The Mola Mola Kula integrated amp, the Kula, has the famous Tambaqui DAC built into it. As an option you can get the Kula integrated with or without a DAC and a phono stage. The optional DAC circuit inside the integrated amp is the same as the Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC. The Tambaqui has been praised by numerous reviewers as one of the finest DACs available at any price. So, if you want an integrated amp with a world class DAC the Mola Mola Kula is it.
The new Peachtree Carina is excellent for the $$ and they have a trade up program...If you can find a used Aavik U-150 for under 10K , Buy it.....best dac and MC phono stage Steve Huff ever heard in an integrated.....I own one 20K new...it's better than their new gear DAC and phono stage wise in MHO .
