Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane
@mitch2: Thank you for the detailed answer. So you are one of the few who can compare directly the Onyx / Jade to the Pavane / Adagio. Would you say that the later do improve upon the former in terms of treble extension and soundstage width?@ soix... 
Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane
@mitch2: I definitely would not trade the Onyx or Jade for the Level 1 Pavane, that doesn't use the Transient DAC Two modules. Really? Have you heard the level 1 Pavane and you prefer the Onyx / Jade soundwise? I find this quite surprising (...

Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane
Hi guys! I am interested in the Metrum dacs, but I have a few concerns. Can you detail a bit how the two (Onyx and Pavane) stack up to each other as well as in absolute terms with respect to: a) the soundstage width (I’ve read that Onyx is quite n...

Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
Thank you so much! I've fell in love with a pair of Spendor SP2/3R2 driven by a Densen B175 integrated a few months ago and I'm planning to buy hopefully next year a new setup most likely based on some Classic series Spendors, but listening to t...
