I have enjoyed a Metrum Pavane for several years. I upgraded to the DAC3 Modules when they were available. I've never had any problems and even when company was in distress I was able to get good customer service. I think Cees returned for awhile because when I purchased the DAC3 modules he personally replied to a few of my questions. I'm sure there are better DACs but I have never felt any dissatisfaction. I always preferred analog (vinyl) until the Pavane when I realized it would cost many times more (more than I could afford) to find a cartridge and turntable equal to the enjoyment of the Pavane. It is never fatiguing.
Metrum Acoustics owners experience
When looking for quality dac’s in the NOS category, the dutch brand Metrum Acoustics always appears as one of the best sound components, but there are not as much reviews as other companies models.
The way I perceive it is that this dac’s have something special about the way they sound, in a relaxed and organic way, that it is very interesting to me, at least when thinking about it...
Does anyone have experiences to share about the Metrum dac’s?
Thanks
