| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane @1markr Greetings! That's interesting you say that Qobuz is better. My limited testing showed MQA to be better, but obviously it's all subjective. I don't have MQA enabled in my Onyx either, but I let Roon and the Ambre take care of the first unfo... | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane @nitewulf good to know! | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane @mrotino I have not tried any other connection with the Ambre/Onyx. I've heard from multiple people online it was by far the best connection to use. What streamer do you use now? | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane Yea, I got the onyx for $1500 and can get the pavane level 3 for $3800 from a friend. Trying to decide. | |
| New Bluesound's Node 2i Node 2i's bread and butter is the operating system and the multi-room function. There are other options out there that sound better. The internal DAC is average at best. The Rotel 1572's DAC sounded better than the Node 2i with MQA even. It's a go... | |
| NOS DAC Journey - SW1X DAC III STd @jdavis37 that's a great feeling!! I'm a happy Metrum Onyx user, but would love to hear your item as well. It's price tag that suggest that it may or may not compare with Metrum Pavane III. Hard telling. What amp do you use? | |
| NOS DAC Journey - SW1X DAC III STd I'm almost positive Metrum allows 30 day trial.Anjo at Metrum was very helpful with my purchase. | |
| Upgrade from Oppo Sonica DAC Roon > Metrum Ambre > Metrum Onyx here using I2S connection. I think it sounds great. I wouldn't think of using Bluesound with Onyx- get the baby Ambre instead. Also R2R DAC aka Onyx can play MQA- just maybe not the "full" unfold, but as lon... | |
| Mcintosh MA6600 @stereo5 so this amplifier is amazing..duh!! It's fantastic and so fun to just look at!! Now....upgrading the speakers ;)I only have my Rotel 1572 to compare and I'm not sure that is a great comparison, but by and large, EVERYTHING is better whic... | |
| Cocktail Audio's New and latest X50pro Audiophile Music Streamer/server...Any Love? Yea, I run the Ambre with Onyx via I2S and I think it's very good. I only had the internal DAC of ROTEL 1572 and Bluesound Node 2i to compare though. I was originally going to try Aries G2, but I spoke with Anjo on Facebook and he sold me on his p... | |
| Cocktail Audio's New and latest X50pro Audiophile Music Streamer/server...Any Love? Does it sound better than the Ambre? | |
| Mcintosh MA6600 @stereo5 because of your post- I got it for same price! thank you sir. | |
| Mcintosh MA6600 @stereo5 dang that is a good price. All the ones are audioclassics are about $3900 right now...ha! I'm torn between upgrading speakers and Integrated.... What speakers are you driving with the MA6600? | |
| Warm, lush and dark ... Dac up to 1.2K I 2nd looking into Metrum | |
| How much would I lose going to a Bluesound Node 2i Obviously it's all subjective, but I had the Node 2i playing coax out to my Rotel 1572 and I thought the Rotel sounded a bit better even with MQA files.Now, I have the Metrum Ambre with Metrum Onyx and well...that is an obvious step up in everythi... |
