The Havana is the Paradisea's new big brother so it may compare slightly better to the Monarchy. That said I have the Paradisea+ non-USB using the Bendix Redbank 6385 tube.
For lack of a better term, it has a nice analog sound to it. I also find the soundstage better than my Nuforce processor. So for $600 or less not much to complain about.
