Aqua has become known for doing things "their own way". The La Scala DAC is an example of this design mindset. It uses a non-filtered R2R DAC system, and is capable of up to 24bit/384 kHz, or DSD128 resolution. Like all Aqua products, the La Scala has a modular internal build system so that future upgrades are easily implemented.
While the La Scala features the optological conversion system used in the more expensive Formula xHD, it also has a pair of ECC81 tubes for a hint of warmth and smoothness. All in all, the LA Scala is an incredibly transparent DAC with a hint of sweetness.

The Formula xHD is truly a reference level digital/analog converter. It is built with painstaking attention to detail, using clever design and premium parts. The Formula xHD implements the ultimate in R2R ladder design. There is no digital filtering. The digital section (including the clock) and analog section are completely isolated from each other using galvanic and magnetic isolation. You think that sounds good? Wait until you hear the DAC itself.
If only the best will do, buy this.

The La Diva Transport is the perfect playmate for any DAC. It features a wide variety of outputs - including seldom seen ST glass fibre - and an etherCON RJ45 connection for a jitter free link to any Aqua DAC. In addition, the internal modular construction ensures that the La Diva can be kept current in case the good folks Aqua come up with any improvements down the road.
The La Diva is a well built, versatile, and highly musical Transport. Essentially, this is Aqua's attempt at an all out assault on compact disc reproduction.
