+1 Elberoth. He simply has too much time and money. He clearly enjoys judging components on his own terms, on a great system in a well thought out room. I value his assessments greatly.
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.
