Congrats!

How does it compare to the 6000a ? I always had this doubt why would one need so much power.
I think you can answer it better.

Hi Amrut,

With 8300 the Lintons performance have improved a lot.

I was under the impression that with power increase only the low frequencies will improve, but that’s not the case. It has brought in more clarity, especially in mid to high frequency range.

Thanks,
Sreejith

Hi,
Hope you can share your impressions with the Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC.

I absolutely love it !!! i've had very limited exposure to standalone dac's . Had an MSB platinum V before this which was stellar too. Really love the soundstage the tambaqui throws up and i love the lushness of the sound ( pardon me for my layman terms, not a very a technical guy). Ii could hear the minutest of details and i can't get over how good well mastered recordings sound. Now i have addep lupe to the analogue chain too and it give you so much of conrtols to play with on the fly when you are listening to vinyls. Its just incredible.
Cheers!
Anand

Nice... How you are connected to the TV ? Did you try all digital options? I guess the speaker having HDMI input as well.

Sounds indeed like an excellent dac, would be end game for me

If you dont mind me asking, I can see that you use a roon setup with a Nucleus probably as a roon core. And the Tambaqui has roon end point functionality. And you have a lot of SOTM components in the chain. I can understand the SOTM switch and ISO Cat 6 cable. But are you using the rest of the SOTM chain to feed the Tambaqui. And are you finding this combination better than using the Tambaqui as the direct end point.

The reason why Iam curious is because iam considering a streaming dac for my next upgrade. And was considering selling my current streamer if the dac's inbuilt streaming board was good enough. Hence curious to know your findings. Thanks

Hi yes i did feel that there was a difference in the SQ when i did an A to B comparison, But then that is what i felt. As for having the SoTM stack i already had the setup before i bought the Tambaqui. I just added the tx - USB ultra later. i honestly got the Tambaqui just for using it as a DAC and not a roon endpoint.
Cheers!

Thanks for sharing

I guessed as much that there might still be benefits with an external optimised digital streamer. I will hold onto my streamer till the dac is here. Dont want seller's remorse later

No reviewer has highlighted it for good reason My wife would want speakers in turquoise colour with shades of emerald blue and a matching dupatta in place of the speaker grills

Musical Fidelity A1. If anyone knows which iteration of A1 is this please let me know. It has a silver chrome front plate. But no specifics written other than the usual MF A1 integrated amplifier.

nice setup

Yes it does have bunch of inputs (HDMI+Optical+USB+Phono). Currently I have connected TV via HDMI... advantage its ARC, hence you can control volume using TV remote.
