I let it play music for a few hours before going down there last night and listening on night one (1).  The results?  Well, I'm trying to figure out how, eventually, I can afford this thing!!  I've never heard such impeccable timing, ease and tonality.  And in my LAN setup it doesn't require a fancy USB cable, doesn't require a hefty HQPlayer server (I have not tested it with HQP via USB yet, see below), nothing.  It makes Roon sound like the best source money can buy.  The lack of fatigue is palpable. 

Hi Ted:

So glad to know you are enjoying the Tambaqui already.  I hear it is a terrific DAC.

Great to skip all the vagaries of S/PDIF, computer USB, etc. and just go straight in with Ethernet.  All DAC inputs get converted to I2S/DSD for actual D/A conversion anyway.

Would be fun for you to put an ear on our EtherREGEN.  Ethernet-input-equipped DAC owners (dCS, Bricasti, Devialet, MolaMola, PS Audio, etc.) are the biggest fans of our active-differeential-isolation switch as it delivers its goodness straight into the DAC.

Here are a couple of reports from a Tambaqui DAC owner with EtherREGEN:

Drop me a line if you want to try one. Technically we just sold out--for the whole year due to global chip shortages--but I am sure I could rustle up a unit for you to try. B|
