Let's just say I was looking for best performance humanly possible with a dash of custom aesthetics. I'll leave it there until Dukei decides to do the big revealAh he wanted a bit of a twist
Congrats! This is absolutely gorgeous! Let me (and everyone else) know how it sounds! I'm quite excited to hear your impressions...Posted this on Susvara thread, but it definitely belongs here. Still on its way to me, can’t wait to get it. Thanks @Dukei !! I believe this is identical with @littlej0e ’s CFA3.
Mine should look the same,minus the speaker tapsPosted this on Susvara thread, but it definitely belongs here. Still on its way to me, can’t wait to get it. Thanks @Dukei !! I believe this is identical with @littlej0e ’s CFA3.
Dang, I’m really curious now on how it will lookLet's just say I was looking for best performance humanly possible with a dash of custom aesthetics. I'll leave it there until Dukei decides to do the big reveal
Too bad the TC is still a few weeks away. I was really looking forward to hear it with CFA3, but for now Susvara & SR1a will do.Congrats! This is absolutely gorgeous! Let me (and everyone else) know how it sounds! I'm quite excited to hear your impressions...
I've been using ygg a2 for awhile and recently swapped to the audiobyte stack. Both very good but very different.Im curious which dac’s you guys are using with your cfa3’s out there,synergy?
I have 2 dacs i use, XI audio sagra dac and totaldac d1 directI've been using ygg a2 for awhile and recently swapped to the audiobyte stack. Both very good but very different.
Can you share how you're feeling about the Hydra stack? And which parts of the Hydra stack you have, because there were supposed to be a couple different configurations. I have always been very interested in it since I'm a Rockna fan.I've been using ygg a2 for awhile and recently swapped to the audiobyte stack. Both very good but very different.
I haven't heard many people with the Sagra that also have a good system and a great other DAC, can you share any comments on the Sagra and D1 Direct, and on what the CFA3 brings to the game that you weren't getting some other way?I have 2 dacs i use, XI audio sagra dac and totaldac d1 direct
i wonder if anyone has tried holo may with cfa3
So,lets start with the cfa3, it was a toss up between flux audio volot and cfa3.Can you share how you're feeling about the Hydra stack?

Which level d1 do you have?So,lets start with the cfa3, it was a toss up between flux audio volot and cfa3.
in my mind,it came down to the reputation of kevin gilmore as a designer and dukei as the builder.
years ago,i had a cavalli amp burn up,on me,and a major issue with a singlepower amp.
there was an issue with a fellow headfier on a flux volot that he had recieved,and i do not know enough about flux labs to feel comfortable with their product.
all this being said, i currently have a pathos inpol ear hybrid amp that i use with my susvara’s & abyss 1266tc.
i really like this amp ALOT,wonderfull mids,very fast amp,hybrid tube/ solid state-all around great amp.
Well,as we all know,no amp is perfect. What im missing from my pathos,especially on my abyss tc,is a vise like grip on its driver,
that only a high current solid state amp can deliver. Im looking to rock out with my 1266tc,and i want to feel the tight grip bass slam,that i beleave
the cfa3 will deliver.
the inpol ear has nice bass,and solid effort at bridging the gap between solid state and tubes,but in the end,does fall a little short.
Ok,my dacs,as you can see,i am a r2r ladder dac fan.i like my music to be organic,lively,and sound like a great turntable.
the problem i have with most delta sigma dacs,is that they generally sound homogenized,and filtered out,and tend to sound artificial to my ears.
like there is a glass sheen to the sound.
the XI sagra is a great value dac,to my ears,very neutral,musical,analog sounding,very well balanced,dead black back ground,large soundstage,but not huge in this department. Where the totaldac d1 direct pulls ahead,is in its midrange.it has all of the sagra,but,
the d1 direct will bring tears to your eyes,it brings emotion to the music,unlike any dac that i have heard.
its soundstage is also larger….
hope this helps..
Currently I have the Hydra Zap + Vox. The hub hasnt been released to customer hands yet, I believe dealers are still awaiting shipment from Audiobyte.Can you share how you're feeling about the Hydra stack?

As far as i know,there is only 1 level totaldac d1 direct.Which level d1 do you have?
