Best DAC for Pink Faun? Aqua formula xHD, dCS Vivaldi, or TotalDAC d1-unity? Thanks in advance!

[OZ996]

Would love your suggestion for DAC for my Pink Faun 2.16 ultra.

Still not decide which DAC is best for Pink Faun. Read some posts and feel like Aqua formula xHD, dCS Vivaldi, TotalDAC d1-unity may match. Any insights, opinion or experience sharing from masters here?

Background:

Already got a new Avantgarde UnoSD. Pick up DarTZeel combo (18ns+108b). Considering CJ’s new Art combo (88+150) and Kuzbass XL for my vinyl collection. Audio room is in my basement of 170 sqt with 9 feet tall.

As for the music genre, big fan of classics such as Bach and Vivaldi. So no modern music and very rare vocal.

Me? I’m pretty happy with my lowly Rossini Apex ring DAC and its resident streamer.

Many thanks Johnson for your sharing. Cannot say Rossini is lowly pack. Are you using the Rossini player with all in one box?

Apart from the WADAX which is fantastic , the metronome would probably be what i d buy.

AQWO DAC Switchable outputstage SS and Tubes sounded fantastic in Munchen
