Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane
I had reached out to Metrum and Anjo said they were working on new products and this was back in January...I haven't heard from him since. I know that there is clearly a sore relationship between Metrum and Cees...at least that's how Anjo put it. ... 
mcintosh c2600 and ma6600 question
Thanks for all the feedback and I am only considering buying used from Audio Classics due to budget. $5k is the max I can spend right now and that is stretching it :) And yes, I will eventually upgrade speakers.I currently have the MA6600 I think ...

mcintosh c2600 and ma6600 question
Mike at Audioclassics suggested I trade in the MA6600 for a C47/MC275 combo saying that would be a big improvement. What do you think? 
mcintosh c2600 and ma6600 question
right, well separates should be better so not sure why you would regret that. I've heard others hooking up tube preamp with integrated with good results.

MQA?
@shadorne do you guys both share a room together?

@vinylfan62 my favorite is the people like you...Are you really that bored in your mom's basement that you feel that need to chime into a discussion you have no part in?? You're lucky I'm giving you the time of day....dork....what else do you have... 
MQA?
@kren0006 curious if you had the TEAC before the firmware update for MQA? Did network player have the software for MQA already and the firmware just updated the DAC? It would be interesting if say, only the streaming side of things was MQA complai... 
MQA?
I do understand why you might think that logic doesn’t make sense, but I’m thinking the final unfolds in MQA are more effective with lower tier DAC’s. The higher tier esp NOS don’t have filters, so a lot less "noise" to remove.That’s how i underst... 
MQA?
@itsjustme so maybe you didn’t read my further comments, but I’m a fan of MQA and also have a Metrum DAC (Onyx) <no MQA card>. My point is that the 2nd/3rd unfold of a MQA DAC maybe less relevant with high level DAC’s especially NOS(non MQA)... 
MQA?
@itsjustme baffled by what? Maybe, I can help clarify my understanding even if it's not as robust as some.  
MQA?
@david_ten   Unfortunately I'm not that well versed to be able to answer that without just guessing.
