Recommended USB- SPDIF converter for Metrum Octave
The threads that I read also said they added a li-lon battery that last for 8 to 10 hours ... I'll let you know, I just ordered the Audio-gd Di V2 with the upgraded clock, then went to ebay and found the li-lon battery, I'll have them in a couple ... 
Preamp Suggestions

Do We need a dedicated server on PC format
Hi Al, The 6 month development time is if they have to form a all new laptop, thats why they recommended looking at the model s5, they could easily use that as a starting point. Remember a company like Acer/HP/Asus will make a small run of a few t... 
audiophilleo 2
No doubt the Off Ramps have a great reputation and a big price tag. Seems like the $500 is a pricepoint that a great converter could still be picked up at. has anyone compared the SotM DX USB and the April Music U3 to the AP2?Also on Ebay there ar... 
Do We need a dedicated server on PC format
Hi Edorr, yes, the CAPS is a Desktop server. Manufacturers say a lower cost great desktop will be no problem. Seems like more people are using notebook these days, was wondering if we can get a great notebook. I have read about the 2.0, the info t...
