Metrum Octave single ended output
kzhtoo: The Metrum sounded really good right out of the box. Over the course of a month the Metrum opened up and got "smoother", soundstaging opening up nicely. Give it time. I absolutely love this dac. It beat my Weiss Minerva hands down at a pri...

heard Melody Gardot?
Me too Donjr. I can't believe I haven't listened to her new album yet. I have no time as I've been working a lot lately so some of her concert will be completely new, which is cool. 
Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC
Eugene81: I'm running PureMusic. Is buffer size controlled/changed in iTunes or in PureMusic? I assume PureMusic? 
Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC
Eugene81: Forgive me if you've already mentioned this, but what USB/spdif converter are you using? I had the Mach2Music HiFace2 but ultimately returned it because I was getting "clicks and pops" during playback. According to the advice of some mem... 
What is the best sounding DAC at $2000-$4000?
Almarg: Thanks again but I couldn't find anything. I'm using PurMusic for playback. I went through PureMusic's menus in "preferences" and couldn't find anything about buffer size. I'm not that knowledgeable about computers and software. I don't wa...
