I've owned both. The Enkianthus is far better than the Hermes. I spent quite a bit of time hopping up the Hermes, and could never get the fine detail and relaxed, analog like sound the Enkianthus produced. The DAC in the Enkianthus is an actual upsampler, whereas the Hermes (as least the one I had) is not. A friend of mine had a similar experience as well. He also went from an Enkianthus to a Hermes. He ended up selling the Hermes and going back to the Enkianthus.
enkianthus vs hermes
Did some of you had the chance to compared side by side these two well acclaimed dac.
I did find some reviews here in the forum for these two good machine, but not against each other, I would like to hear from those of you who did compare them. Which one get the most vote of musicallity, depth, bass, soundstage, layering, definition. Well you know what I mean.
