Job Integrated Amp.

That's very good news.

After the initial hoopla, it went quiet with no news of anyone having received it. You may be one of the first.

Look forward to hearing your initial feedback.

Congratulations, Djverne. You must be the first person I know of that has received a unit.

Did you pop open the hood to see if the innards look like that of the Metis 7?

Is the faceplate the same grey colour of your previous 225. From the Job FB page, it appears lighter, almost silver.

Thanks.

How does it compare to the 225 that you previously owned? Does it sound similar but better or altogether different?

Jaaptina, the analog input is digitised. It is converted into digital for DSP purposes, then converted into analog again before amplification. Job does not say what the DSP does.

The innards of the Job are similar to the Mimesis 7 which is, in turn, based on the Telos 360.

Would it be correct to say though that the internal DAC may be better than the Metrum?

Therefore, digital source => Job would sound better than digital source => Metrum DAC => Job?

As such, it may be possible that a better DAC through the analog input would sound better, assuming that the AD/DA section of the Job is relatively transparent. After all, Goldmund equips its pre-amps with digital outputs for use with the Telos 360 etc amps so the DA section must be up to scratch, one would think.
