"Mola Mola Tambaqui

Tambaqui DAC by Mola Mola is the perfect upgrade for owners of complete high-end systems. Preserve the characteristic sound of your existing preamplifier while simultaneously elevating your digital music sources to a higher level.

Thanks to the addition of lossless digital volume control and ROON Ready, this is the ideal system for music lovers who have transitioned to digital but crave the full performance of the analog original. This Pre-power DAC forms the best digital replay chain available.

"Digital that is just as good as analog."

Settings

The Tambaqui has four freely assignable digital inputs. These are set by the dealer upon delivery but can be changed by you at any time. For example, one input can be assigned to a CD player, the second input to a music streamer, and so on.

App

The Tambaqui can be controlled with a free downloadable app for both Android and Apple's iOS. The Mola Mola app connects to the Tambaqui via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth connection is solely for remote control. In addition to the Mola Mola app, a remote control is also available.

Pre-amp

The Tambaqui can be used as a DAC only, connected to a preamplifier. The volume of the Tambaqui is set to maximum in this case. However, the musical power and gain of the Tambaqui also lie in its fully lossless and distortion-free digital volume control. This allows the Tambaqui to replace the preamplifier in a system with purely digital sources.

High Res

As one of the best DACs in the world, the Tambaqui is expected to support all (high-res) resolutions and audio formats. Up to 384Khz/32bit (!) PCM and quadruple DSD playback. Distortion is almost non-measurable.
