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!

Thank you. Sounds like you have a thoughtfully put together set up suited to your preferred SQ, tone and presentation. Have fun!
Nice... How you are connected to the TV ? Did you try all digital options? I guess the speaker having HDMI input as well.Introducing ELAC Debut ConneX DCB41 First on this Forum (i guess)- My Soundbar replacement, Just one word to describe "Wow"

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

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

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.

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.
Ordered it from HiFimart - 39,990/- + Free delivery

Got a new tube preamp few months back
Not sure if this counts as AV Gear! But a purely aesthetic addition to my setup. Something I have been working towards getting right for a while!
The idea was to get something that can display Spotify/TIDAL - NOW PLAYING screen at all times. I have been working on various prototypes and finally found someone who could put my ideas into practice & execute with perfection
The device is a cheapish 10 inch tablet, this turned out to be the optimum size for the Spotify Now Playing screen as it was readable from anywhere in the room. Also the ratio of the album art vs the info below turned out to be the best on a 10 inch tablet.
I have signed into this tablet with a separate ID I created (as this tablet will never be locked). The tablet is set to always on. Spotify now playing screen is Pinned. The tablet has been put on e-reader mode (So it is Black & White -). All apps (except some system apps) are either disabled or uninstalled - so only SPOTIFY is working for now, will add tidal soon.
The frame is teak wood - the back is routed MDF. The tablet can be put in both Landscape or Portrait mode. For my usage - portrait it is!
A few pictures!

...Love it Trust me you can go commercial with this if you can get it to show album art over wifi or a wired LAN for more streaming sites. I would definitely stand in line to buy one
