DAC Help : Please Weight In - Down to 5


In no particular order, I am looking to get a new dac streamer.

1) Mola Mola Tambaqui

2) Terminator Plus with Gaia

3)  Lampizator Golden Gate 2 / THE BIG SEVEN MK2

4) Aqua La Scala MKII Optologic DAC

any strong recommendations based on experience?

I own a Lampi Atlantic for years, owned the Termi twice (second version) and demoed the Aqua La Scala… The La Scala and the Lampi have a more organic flow of the music. The La Scala was the highest resolution. 

We sell the Mola Mola and the Aqua lines. Amazing DAC's but very different designs. If you are also looking at a streamer, the Mola comes with one, the others you would need to add one. 

I think some of the options depend on the accompanying components. I have heard the Aqua (with tubes) add some holographic dimensions to a solid state rig, and with the Tambaqui I have never heard things so clear, and image so large. 

Any specific questions let us know! Here to help

Good choice on the Golden Gate.  I have the GG3.  the big DHTs in the output section really cast a huge soundstage and a large presentation.
