Are these all walnut? If so is the difference in color very drastic?

 
Unfortunately, yes.  Pretty drastic. It seems like they're got a new source for the bases.  It's probably the only thing I'm disappointed with at this point.

That's disappointing I was planning on putting the csp3 beside the taboo like you have, never thought about them not matching.
 
My taboo is really dark like yours and I really like that shade of walnut. 
I guess if you got the black figured base that would be the same but that one definitely isn't my favorite base.
They wouldnt fit tightly together either.

It's not hard to sand down and recoat/varnish to your desired color that will match.

My two Maple are the same shade....

Looks like a Wired 4 Sound Dac you have.  Those are nice.  I used to have one and always loved it.
 
Regarding color, I agree...sand/stain it to match if it bugs you.

I loved the DAC-2. The DSDse upgrade made something really good, Great!

^ Eric, got the BMC PureDAC in house. Early days, but sounds remarkable with the LCD2 and my Taboo II. There's a new layer of upper bass and midrange body and detail not hinted at with my other DACs - or else my audio memory is playing tricks

Nice to know the Decware gear keeps scaling with the equipment around it.

That looks like a great DAC Andre! I love how a good source can peel back the layers....

Yep, good eye.  It's a great DAC.  I couldn't be happier with it.
 
If it comes to the point that I'm really annoyed, I might sand/stain.  For now, I don't really care enough to do anything about it.  I have about 5 different wood tones going on in my little corner.

Wait, more like 6 or 7.  I forgot the wood on my headphones and headphone stand.  They're both zebrano wood, but are different too.  I should just drop everything in a bucket of black paint.

So tonight the Taboo is working wonders with my DM945's. 4.7 watts of awesomeness!

longbowbbs,  what is the official output power for speaker taps on the taboo MK III?  I scanned thru the manual but didn't see the specs.
Thinking about gettin the woo audio wee and play around with some stax to see if I like the sound.  The wee requires amps that output at least 3 watts at speaker output.

 

[longbowbbs]

According to Decware, the Taboo MK III produces 4.7 watts at 8 ohms from the speaker terminals. All 4.7 are sounding particularly nice this evening....

Great to know.  That's plenty to drive the Wee.
