Elberoth2: Is the Audiophileo2 really that much better than the hiface2? I just purchased a Hiface2 and it's the only device of it's kind that I tried in the system. Although, ever since I started using it I've been getting these annoying clicks and pops in the sound. I guess you haven't run into anything like that with the Audiophileo2 right?
Metrum octave vs new Rega DAC vs Eastern electric
I currently have an EE minimax (non-plus version), but have become increasingly interested in the Metrum and Rega DACs recently as a potential replacement. What are people's opinions on this? Would either of these DACs truly be an upgrade? I listen to all redbook, so oversampling isn't an issue, and I listen to mostly Rock (which I guess means I prefer a meaty/rich sound character).
