Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus?
Where do you find a Tambaqui for $9500 USD?  It's $13,400 now...Rather a big jump in price isn't it?

Hi there....What other DACs did you consider before purchasing the MA3....?  You think it would compete with the dCs Bartok...or the MSB Discrete?  I'm waiting to hear reviews! 
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
I hope you don't mind me joining in on the conversation.  What is the significance of employing a network switch in between the router and the streamer?  How does a switch improve the sound quality?  Also, I've been reading about specifically usin... 
Lumin vs Auralic
eaglejo, I decided to put the Aesthetix Calypso back into the mix.  The Vega direct to amp was very good...but upon more critical listening, including the preamp was better.....more 3d, holographic.....I have to talk about the footers I put under ... 
Lumin vs Auralic
mwsl, I'm really liking my Vega G2.  I have NO regrets purchasing it.  I think it sounds spectacular!  I recently added the Auralic Leo GX master clock as well....and it really is a step performance upgrade from the Vega G2 alone.  But please don'...

Thanks for the responses....I'm driving PMC FACT8's.  I have currently unplugged my Aesthetix Calypso Preamp....My source right now is the Auralic Vega G2 with Auralic Leo GX Master Clock....It's running direct from my Vega G2 to the amp....Again,... 
Aftermarket Fuses
To the OP and Oregonpapa....I'm going to be ordering the SR blue fuse to go into my Auralic Vega G2 streamer...and was wondering what specific piano pieces you listen to for your comparisons.  I'm going to look for these in Tidal to do a compariso... 
Lumin vs Auralic
Sorry for the late reply.  I ended up getting the Vega G2.  I think it sounds remarkable!  I've been swapping out power cords, XLR interconnects, and Ethernet cables the last couple months.  I'm currently doing an assessment of the performance of ...

I hope some of you are still following this thread.  I currently own the Audience Au24e speaker cables...and have a few options that I'd like to ask your opinion on....I can upgrade to the Au24SE for about $350 US (I'm in Canada...so add on anothe... 
Lumin vs Auralic
Dick, I'll let you know what I end up getting....Uberwaltz, I'll do some investigating on the Mytek BB; thanks for your suggestion.  Mre28m5, there are no dealers for Auralic anywhere near me....so auditioning anything from that company is not goi... 
Auralic Vega G2 vs Aries G2
Daeone, I'd be interested in hearing your comments regarding the performance of the Vega G2 on it's own, without the Leo GX....and how that compares to your current Aries G2 (with the current DAC you're using)......I'm sure your Vega G2 with the L...
