| Nordost Quattro Fil is still good The quatro fils are excellent. Just a small touch shy of Valhalla in performance, and a step up from Frey. It would a big step up from Heimdall, single ended or balanced. | |
| Metrum octave vs new Rega DAC vs Eastern electric Get the Metrum. You are getting a dac that competes with much more expensive dacs. I find it sounds great with a Halide Bridge, or from my Squeezebox Touch with the enhanced digital out. Haven't tried the Audiophilio, but I probably will.The Metru... | |
| Agood dac for my devore nines and leben system. Second the Octave. I have Nines, had Shindo gear, and the octave sounds great in my system. | |
| Skala or Kleos? Snack, yes I do use the SPT. I got a bottle with my Skala. I would guess I use it every other record. | |
| Skala or Kleos? I just did. I had a Nighthawk previously for a year or so, and a Vendetta for many years before that. Time marches on! The Jasmine is really very nice. | |
| Skala or Kleos? Actually, nothing wrong with the sound at all. It sounds great! I did look at the stylus with a microscope and it seems fine. I guess I am just being paranoid...Regarding stylus life, my last three preamps all had hour meters on them which has hel... | |
| Skala or Kleos? It is a Well Tempered Amadeus, Jasmine phono stage, and Bob's Devices Cinemag 3440 AH (Blue). | |
| Calling all owners - Jasmine LP 2.0 MKII I got mine last week also, and it sounds fantastic. I owned a Nighthawk but suspected there was more available from my Skala. I ordered Bob's Devices Blue Cinemag which will be here Monday (Thanks for getting it out, Bob!). I am totally stoked abo... | |
| Metrum Octave Dac experiences I was using an inexpensive optical toslink cable from my Squeezebox Touch to my Octave, and got a glass Sonicwave toslink cable today. Still cheap at $50 on Amazon. I am completely stunned at the improvement . I was happy before, but this was a se... | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Ronrags, no, I haven't obsessed over the inputs. Both sound great, and I have no way to re-clock the optical anyway.I use a less loss on the dac, and a upgraded linear power supply on the touch. | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC It sounds great with a Squeezebox without any re-clocking. I use optical out of my SB Touch, sounds great. I do use a reclocker out of my Mac Mini into it. The Octave does need a couple says burn in to sound its best. I was initially a little unde... | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Bugred, I am using it both ways, from a squeezebox touch and a Mac mini. | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC I just received mine from Hifi Heaven in Green Bay Wi. I ordered it yesterday, got it today! They just got them in. Burning in now, but already sounding very nice... I had been holding off ordering from Metrum due to the wait, so this worked out v... | |
| luxman vs leben for devore nines speakers I had a 507u and a Leben CS300 for a short time. I found the Luxman to sound a bit thin on my Nines, but with plenty of power. The Leben sounded much better to my ears, but without enough power for a wide range of music. I imagine the Leben 600 wo... | |
| Line Magnetic LM Audio I think you have some listening to do. Have fun! |
