Will you be getting a Tambaqui to review? I must say I was impressed with it but never had the opportunity to compare it with the DCS.@Ed Selley may I suggest these other items out of reach of normal people for review entertainment
Moolah moolahMola Mola Tambaqui
Bricasti M3H (H for built in headphone amp option)
T+A HA 200 (not sure you had these to demo with your Solitaire P review?)
The Mola Tambaqui upsamples all signals before converting to analogue
The ME and HA 200 both employ delta sigma for PCM and an in-house 1-Bit DAC for DSD
A 9 for value for money. The hifi reviews here are getting more and more like What HiFi.
I use mine most days with the Focal Utopia (+ the lazuli reference XLR cable). Working from home has never sounded so good.@Ed Selley Oh god I can see more money draining out of my bank account! I've been researching what to get to extract the best from my Stellia's and this looks like the one!
Great review.
do you have the Rossini with your Bartok?

That's the most important thing ;-)Of course one wonders whether you can 'hear' the difference against the RME ADI 2 DAC FS / Pro
I have heard it said that Boris Johnson never has second thoughts; second thoughts have Boris Johnson.I think even Boris Johnson would have second thoughts with that price!
If using Roon, you can always use their crossfeed filter with impressive results.That would be for @Ed Selley to answer
John Darko in his video review thought the Bartók with headphone amp option was better for headphone listening due to the crossfeed introduced in the update. I am not Darko, but my takeaway is if you are speaker listening only with no headphones then save the money and get the Tambaqui
