JL Gotham F212 v2 vs ?
Dual Carbon Limited's or dual JL Fathom F112v2's? (and now there is the Carbon Special)  I have a pair of Carbon Limited's and love them.  They integrate with my Revel Salon 2's seamlessly.  I use the high level inputs with wireless RELong Bow (wh... 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
I checked out the Mojo Audio Mystique (Evo).  It look great.  But I want an optical input so that I can connect my TV Audio out to my two channel system.  At that list price the Mola Mola Tambaqui is very competitive.  Also the Tambaqui Streams as... 
B&W vs. Sonus Faber
+1  for The REVEL Salon 2's.  Require good amplification, but to me more articulate than the SF's but less bright than the B/W's.  Very full range.  Tall, so best to not sit real close.  Great for an open room layout such as combined family / brea... 
B&W vs. Sonus Faber
(I think) B/W pair well with McIntosh because it needs more ‘sparkle’.  Similarly Sonus Fabre can take the edge off of bright or harsher sounding SS gear.  I did say ‘I think’, right? :) Ken 
B&W vs. Sonus Faber
+1 Kren0006very different.  I have demo’d these both with the same equipment...B/W forward and bright...Sonus Faber smooth to veiled. You sort of need to choose a camp...like tube vs SS electronics. 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
There is only one reason anything is so expensive...it is worth it.  And that is for the listener to decide.

Stretch for the Tambaqui by Mola Mola.  You will see it used or checkwith GTT Audio for best price.  Worth it.  Replaced my PS Audio Direct Stream with Auralic Vega G2 (substantially better). Replaced Auralic with Tambaqui (substantially better ag...

Control volume with DAC or Preamp?
I purchased PSAudio DS DAC and BHK 250 stereo amp.  I was not thrilled, and added the PSAudio BHK preamp, for no other reason except sound quality.  I was rewarded (to my ears) with better overall sound through the preamp.  I did not need it for o...
