IMHO that kind of comparison is not correct - they are completely different as architecture - NOS Single Ended  tube buffered against a digital filter and they sounds different - depends what your preferences are /mainly what kind of music you are listening to/. So instead of asking this you better find a way to listen to both of them and take your decision.

Perhaps the sonic differences between these very different two DACs, from some one who has owned both, is exactly what the dude is looking for?
 
Rock.

Exactly! I would be happy to audition them prior to purchase. Then I would know which one I like. Unfortunately it's not possible, that's why I am asking here. I know it can't replace own listening, but what to do..

You better get in touch with robeeert1 and ask whether he can help you.

Another thing I'd suggest is to post a "Rega DAC vs Havana DAC" sort of message in the "Dedicated Source Components" forum (not just here in the Havana thread); you might run a better chance of encountering feedback from those who have owned both.
 
Good luck, mate.

Try starting a thread on Audiogon as well.

You have not the slightest notion what differences I'm talking about.
 
I read in this thread you heard the fuse, , changing one cap gives you effect x 10.
Good luck. mate.
 

Oh, no worries, mate.
 
I'm completely satisfied with my (nearly) stock Havana. I'm not much of a DIY guy (if at all) ... but I sure like watching you guys tweak.
 
Keep it up.

BTW, mate, why not box up that sick ass Havana mod of yours and send it to me?
 
LOL.

Sirrah,
 
Shipping oversees is not easy, taxes, customs, costs etc. but it doesn't mean it is not possible.
 
Some day you'll get my DAC for testing. Now I'm preparing it for the next upgrade.
Cheers

"The NEXT UPGRADE!??", Robert?

PS: How far can go Havana? and how far can you go?

Loserica,
I'm just finishing, several caps left to replace, and maybe power supply(ugrading power supply needs seperate chassis, I'll have to think this upgrade over). This will be the end. I'm not touching the DAC any more. ))))))))
The DAC will beat over $10k worth DACs.
