Audiophilleo vs Empirical audio offramp

I currently have a metrum octave DAC being fed by an Audiophilleo 2 converter. I've been thinking of replacing it with an Offramp 4 or 5, but am not sure if it is worth it. Has anyone compared these two directly (doesn't necessarily have to be with a metrum DAC)? Most say that the offramp is slightly better, but does this increase in performance make it worth 3x the price (since you will also need to buy a SPDIF cable for the offramp). Let me know what you think.

The AP can also be improved by using Connectronics brand BNC / RCA adapters in lieu of those provided with the AP unit. They sound much better and a very inexpensive purchase from Markertek.

I also found a good coax sounds better than direct connection to the DAC. I use the BlackCat Silverstar.
