Mola Mola DAC Module for Makua & Kula
£6,299.00
Internal discrete DAC option for compatible Mola Mola Makua preamplifiers and Kula integrated amplifiers. Not a standalone Tambaqui DAC.
Description
Description
This is the optional DAC board for a compatible Makua or Kula, not a complete external DAC. It adds digital-source connections within the host amplifier and uses Mola Mola’s in-house discrete conversion technology.
Digital inputs and Roon playback
The manufacturer lists AES/EBU, optical Toslink, USB-B, Bluetooth and Roon Ready Ethernet inputs. PCM up to 384kHz/32-bit and DSD up to quad speed are supported, with rates above 192kHz/24-bit and DSD restricted to USB and Roon. Roon Ready means endpoint playback: you still need Roon Server and a licence.
Choose the internal or external route
For Makua or Kula, the module keeps conversion inside the existing chassis. Choose the standalone Tambaqui DAC when you want a separate unit or need its external connection set and headphone outputs. The module is not a universal upgrade for other brands.
Confirm compatibility and fitting
Send us the host model and serial number before ordering. We will confirm the correct module, compatibility, fitting arrangements and what the quotation includes. Do not assume this is a user-installable board or that fitting is included in the displayed product price.
