| Recommended USB- SPDIF converter for Metrum Octave Timlub - "I have been reading that the Audio-gd Di V2 is a very different beast than the orginal Di."Where have you been reading those comparisons? | |
| For the sound, or????? Gumby - Please identify the two tube amps that were outperformed. | |
| Class A amps or Class D??: Which sounds better?? Many audiophiles grew up listening to Class A/B amplification so the type of changes to live instrument sound it produces is judged preferable to the type of changes the newer Class D amps produce. Based on the age demographics of the audiophile c... | |
| How many still listen to CD's daily. I was actively working on migrating from a CD-based music library to a computer-based one earlier this year. I have abandoned that effort, without any regrets. Why?1) I have about 2000 CDs. Downloading them into a computer would take months, takin... | |
| Recommended USB- SPDIF converter for Metrum Octave Anonymoustao - E-mail me through my Audio Asylum contact info. I have the same user name there. I have an off-line comment for you, if you are interested. Best. | |
| Have i reached the limit or do i get a new preamp Tomas - I highly recommend looking into passive preamps, which will cost you probably half of your allotted price but far exceed active preamps at any reasonable price. The B&K amp you have (I have an EX-442 in my second system, which is a goo... | |
| Poulenc double piano concerto? Funny you ask, but I just listened to the excellent Labeque sisters/Seiji Ozawa performance on Philips a couple of nights ago. This is a lively performance in very good sound. I would bet that Rpfef's Dutoit recommendation is solid. That Piano Con... | |
| suggestions for updating via DAC..... "Buy a Mac Mini ... and never again fight with disc transport limitations."Instead struggles with system configuration, internal CPU noise and the hassles of downloading your CD collection. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? I have a carefully assembled system but also one that due to its cost (around $9k) I wouldn't presume to be capable of the realism of super-expensive systems. Last weekend, I was listening to an opera and at one point a character unexpectedly knoc... | |
| Metrum Octave First Impressions I acquired the Octave this year and recently inserted the Audio GD DI-3 into the chain. The DI-3 is making a big difference although my transport is rated as more jittery than the Squeezebox so you will probably hear less of an effect. What's inte... | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Ronrags - Not sure I understand your question, but I've been meaning to post an update on my Metrum experience so let me do that, which addresses reclocking.I got the Metrum about 5 weeks ago and was immediately impressed by its vivid & immedi... | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Ronrags - I have used the Metrum with both coax and optical and I'd say they sound very similar. Due to the variables involved (cables, transport output), it's difficult to make a precise comparison, but the two Metrum inputs are approximately equ... | |
| Metrum Octave Dac experiences What do you think of the Metrum's "musicality"? I realize that is a loaded and controversial term but I'm interested in Metrum owners' response to the question. | |
| Metrum Octave Dac experiences I received my Octave earlier this week and have been listening to it unburned in. Sensational detail, excellent on winds and percussion, soundstaging seems very good, OK on voice. A lot of presence and major oomph in louder sections. This is a big... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Devilboy - I note that you have a Bent Audio Tap (as well as the Metrum Octave). Could you do a quick comparison of the LSA and the Bent? That I believe would be of interest to everyone on this thread. |
