edwoodjr,
Any report on your Morpheus? |
Just wondering if anyone has listened to the Pasithea yet.
Have they hit our shores?
|
For anyone interested, 2 part review at mono and stereo site.
1st part up now second part coming.
Also check the review on 6moons.
|
Review now complete at mono and stereo site.
|
Thanks for the excellent review.
What type of files were you running through the Morpheus?
|
Yes, that statement in the review intrigued me as well.
Now of course I’m wondering about the timeline and price point of the "upper echelon" DAC.
|
Bought a Morpheus recently and I’m liking it.
Might consider the Hermes when it becomes available.
Would anyone recommend the MQA card? |
I appreciate your comments on this thread.
I have never heard a Metrum DAC. For the last fives years or so I’ve been enjoying an Aesthetix Romulus Eclipse w/volume control and decided to try something new just for fun. So I purchased the Morpheus after researching as much as I could about it. As far as I know there are no dealers near me for an audition.
These two DACs have quite different sound signatures but I like them both. The Morpheus definitely has the upper hand in resolution and weight/punch, especially in the low end, while the Romulus has much better finesse and grace.
I’ve rolled the pairs of 12AX7 and 6922 tubes in the Romulus to my taste.
I’m currently using a Wadia 270SE transport with both DACs although I have other transports yet to try. Connected with 1.5m Shunyata Sigma XLR digital cable. Redbook only for now.
If Sonnet releases an upgraded DAC I would definitely consider a purchase. |
Did you get a chance to listen to the Morpheus?
If so could you give your take on this DAC sonics?
Obviously the Morpheus must have been pleasing since you decided to purchase.
Also, are you in USA?
|
Would be happy to hear your impressions of the Morpheus.
|
How about a shootout at the OK corral?
Morpheus vs. Bricasti M3
Could be very interesting. |
Thanks for the report dalims4.
Very interesting.
|
Don’t think the Sonnet-Audio Morpheus is on the audio radar screen yet.
But I know 6Moons doesn’t throw awards around very often and
that tweaked my curiosity.
If anyone knows an audio reviewer maybe you could drop a hint for a DAC shootout between the Morpheus, Bricasti M3 and T&A Series 8.
Could be very interesting. |
Mitch2,Check with HiFiHeaven, they have the Morpheus with the MQA card listed @ $199.99 and the I2s card @ $99.99.
Don’t know whether they actually have them in stock, you’ll have to check with them.
BTW: Sonnet-Audio has 3 products listed on their net site, the Morpheus, Hermes and Kratos.
Has me wondering what the Hermes and Kratos might be. |
Did you order from HiFiHeaven?
A SQ report would be appreciated.
|
That explains the lack of US based reviews. Maybe later this year?
|
A review of the Sonnet Pasithea has been completed on Six Moons.
If you read the review and feel that you understand its conclusions please summarize it for us as many of these reviews seem extremely cryptic. Maybe it's just me but I find some Six Moons reviews difficult to understand.
|
Srajan has an uncanny ability to "beat around the bush".
I can't tell if the Pasithea article is a rave review or a lukewarm one.
The Morpheus review was much clearer to me.
|
There's a thread on 6Moons if you want to follow the development of the new Sonnet DAC, so far un-named. Not much information though.
|
Srajan recently added a final line to his Pasithea review stating that he bought the review sample for his system.
Another Pasithea review has gone up on: alpha-audio.net
|
Looks like new Sonnet Pasithea DAC will be available sometime early 2022 @ about double Morpheus price.
Looking forward to hearing it and reading reports and reviews.
