Stanwal. I began the ordering process with the email late Saturday night from California. Cees Ruijtenberg responded promptly within two hours early Sunday a.m. informing me of the 6-7 week lead time and asking permission to continue. So the ball is rolling.
I'm usually a stickler for auditioning audio products. So far everybody who's spent any time listening to this DAC has compared the Octaves level of performance with a select few other widely accepted and very expensive converters I have never even seen. I guess I need to attend more audio shows.
Anybody reading this should be reminded the Metrum Octave has a limit of 176.5 kHz. BFD! In my case, with almost 2300 LP's, 728 CD's, 8 SACD's, and only 3 24 192kHz downloads. With so many of my old fogey LP's never even making it to CD digital is not a major audio focus but that damn Squeezebox is dope.
While thumbing through the many DAC reviews I saw the Metrum and quickly dismissed it being from Europe with service in mind. It was your post that returned me to the 6 Moons review. Thanks
