Aqua la scala optilogic DAC.

Italian made hifi .

This is an awesome DAC with a huge following online and well deserved.

Thinking of upgrading again but not to worried as this is hard to beat if you add a top quality source.

I am very hesitant to sell as it’s amazing and might be making a big mistake.

R2R dac

It comes with the packaging and a number of different tubes/valves.

Currently using lovely vintage valves.

Might pull the auction at anytime if I change my mind.

Hey…awesome DAC. I have the same. Not sure if you’re aware but Aqua have recently announced there’s a factory upgrade available for this model. Might be worth considering.. r*****1 (709) • 11:49 am, Mon, 12 May

No. Tempted though. I read in an online forum someone saying they were super happy with the upgrade. Problem with factory upgrade is the shipping both ways won’t be cheap, let alone the upgrade itself r*****1 (709) • 7:40 pm, Mon, 12 May

I think the same. Shame it can’t be done locally. Anyway I think a better streamer is the key. I am happy with the Aqua but was thinking of a one box solution. Might just need to upgrade my streamer instead. janejose (161) • Monday, 12 May 2025

Sorry…Not trying to hijack your auction but I had the Antipodes DS streamer, replaced it with the Aqua LinQ (connectivity with the proprietary I2S cable)….massive step up. The LinQ paired with the La Scala is 👌 r*****1 (709) • 7:46 pm, Mon, 12 May

Finger problems! Yes would love the matching streamer but out of my league. I don’t use the DS for streaming , only files. Have a rivo at the moment. Not very high end! Seller comment Monday, 12 May 2025
