| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @fastfreight I've heard great things about the Tambaqui (which, by coincidence is the tastiest fish I know). I just believe it's above my budget new and although I might be able to stretch to the used one I see for sale at the moment, I don't want... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @hchilcoat the former: the Cantata got crushed. and I LOVE my Cantata (have had it for 9 years now - the longest I've had any piece of equipment). it wasn't subtle nor pretty. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD So, I'm currently on an upgrade path.I have a Resolution Audio Cantata 2.0. I had the Holo Audio May KTE for trial and, in my system, it would have been a lateral move, so it went back.I have a Lampizator TRP w/ vc on its way for a trial, but woul... | |

| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers I know the thread is basically dead.But still, this thread is not complete with someone suggesting the Evolution Acoustics MicroOne. Simple as that. 👍 | |
| Airpulse A300 vs Kef LS50W Asking myself the same question. Currently have the LS50 and my NAD S300 fried so am thinking of moving to active monitors for my office. I like the KEF's coax, but also have a preference for ribbons. Unfortunately I don't know how the ones in the... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks @mattnshilp, I appreciate the input. My main interest is a full active line stage instead of a digital or analogue volume attenuator. Analogue inputs would be a secondary benefit, but not the main goal. | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I kind of have lost track of this immense thread, but would appreciate some help.I am looking for a DAC with full active preamp (or full active preamp with DAC). I see that the Mola Mola fits my description, but would like to ask you if you know o... | |
| DAC plus Preamp or DAC-Preamp or DAC-Volume Control ? Very interesting conversation. I would like to ask for help, since I know what I'm looking for.I want a full active preamp with integrated DAC. The full preamp should obviously be active and the DAC should be of very high quality. I have seen that... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Has anyone around here been able to listen to the new Resolution Audio Cantata 3.0, which is an upgrade from the 2.0? I am asking because I am on fence of doing the upgrade or going in a different direction. My goal would be to find something like... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I Googled the Cantata to learn about it. The Ethernet is used as a method to extend the range of USB (using pont neuf), so this not really Ethernet DLNA or other protocols. Even when a router is used, the Ethernet is used simply as an extensio... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve,I posted on the topic you referenced, but will ask here, too - my DAC has an ethernet input and sound was great, but upnp was not user-friendly at that time and would freeze up the DAC more often than not. With the regen the USB was back to ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, after a lengthy cable comparison I decided on the LH Lightspeed (later called 10G) quite a while ago. Did you ever get a chance to listen to it in your system? I just might try to find out how it compares to the 20G. Do you know if the 10G i... | |

Am pondering either going with the upgrade or selling and getting myself a Lampi or similar. Will try to ... |
