Bel Canto DAC3 or Cambridge Audio 840C?
Here's a link in the AVS forum from someone last year comparing the Tadac to the Bel Canto 3 bear in mind this was the previous model Tadac. The Tdac is supposed to be much better. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=707173&page=14... 
Bel Canto DAC3 or Cambridge Audio 840C?
I haven't heard the Cambridge or the Bel Canto but if you like a smooth but detailed sound you should also consider the Tdac, it has a very analog sound with an extremely clean presentation and can be had for less than either the Bel Canto or the ... 
Who has found happiness giving up on DACs?
I've had my TDAC for almost three months now and ther's no way in hell I would go out and spend buco legal tender on a cd player. Just my 0.02

The MMG's are a good speaker for the money but you definitely want to have a high powered amp driving them (if you don't already have one) It's not that maggies won't sound good with a low powered amp but you definitely won't hear what they're ful... 
Need DAC help
The offer holds if you're willing to pick it up and drop it off, I really don't want to get involved with shipping. I have only had the opportunity to hear one other dac - The Maverick, which happens to be a great value for approx $200.00 but I th... 
Need DAC help
For some user reviews and comments from the local distributor as well, go over to audiocircle.com and just do a query. There may be a professional review out there as well, (Six Moons?)but I'm not quite sure. If you live in the N.J NYC area I'd be... 
Need DAC help
Looks like alot of solid recommendations here and it appears all could be had new for under a $1000.00 I would also like to throw in the Eastern Electric dac which has been garnering some good reviews as well. If you can stretch your budget a litt... 
Power cord for MHDT Havana
Quite strange you're not hearing much of a difference with the Havana, I noticed a difference between my cd player and an inexpensive dac like the Maverick. Granted my cd player is a POS but the techincs your using isn't exactly reference material... 
Pangea power cords
I purchased two AC-9's in late March for use with my Tad 1000 monos and I immediately noticed a difference between them and the stock PC. Like one of the posters commented the bass seemed a little bloated at first but settled down after break in. ...

TDAC or Havana?
I find it a little odd that someone who wasn't all that thrilled with the Tadac would then go and purchase the Predac? From what I understand you need to use the tubiness control on the Tadac judiciously or you could ruin the sound. That being sai... 
TDAC or Havana?
I also replaced the stock eh 12b7 tubes with a pair of Siemens silver plates and it really made a big difference. Paul also has an upgraded power supply for about $150.00 which is supposed to take things to another level. 
TDAC or Havana?
The Tdac is not the same as the Tadac, or the Predac for that matter which was only available for a very short time. I own the most recent 2010 Tdac and to my ears it's a great sounding dac and is supposed to be much better than the Tadac. I've ne...
