Hey troops:

Just got Vinnie's Isabella in with the DAC installed.
Vinnie was kind enough to put hours on this one before
he sent it to me, so I have to say that even right out
of the box, I am very impressed!

Of course, the synergy with my 30.2 is perfect and after
a week of listening will be trying his cables in that system
too.

So far the DAC is very well done.  My Sooloos music server
really has a marginal on board DAC, so the Isabella
was good for a HUGE jump in performance right there.

A full review will be in our October issue, but I can
already tell you this one is another home run for RWA.

If you are on the fence and have a 30.2, (or one of Vinnies
other amps) this is as easy as it gets!

Thanks Jeff, should be a good read

That's an interesting comment right there! Considering the Sooloos starts at $8000 and the Isabella is already much better sounding. Plenty of change left over for a macbook and TB of storage too!

I bought the Sooloos for the interface, it's ability
to manage a large music collection and the fact
that I don't have to worry about backup.

I knew it had a marginal DAC. I was previously
using it with the Channel Islands DAC with excellent
results.

What is so cool about the Isabella is that it's all
on one chassis.  My living room is small, so the
less gear in there, the better!

Remember that Sooloos is coming out with a new model that's going to be in the $3500 to $4000 range.
