| Paging Stanwal-Any update on the Metrum Octave Stanwal. I began the ordering process with the email late Saturday night from California. Cees Ruijtenberg responded promptly within two hours early Sunday a.m. informing me of the 6-7 week lead time and asking permission to continue. So the ball ... | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Stanwal, that's some lead time. There's no way to audition and it sounds like resale would be ripe if one needed to. There is more positive comments on a Audiophilleo and Stello U3 reviews.Thanks for the responseVic | |
| Best DAC under 2k US ? Stanwal, I tried posting a ping to you and another Metrum Octave subject line and they must have been moderated out. Anyway-I'm in the market and the Totaldac review really stopped me looking at the usual suspects which lead me to the 6Moons revie... | |

| Dual volume control - it should be standard I had a popular preamp with two individual stepped attenuators with steps so far apart in volume they couldn't possibly used for any type of balance control and just a nuisance. They must be some sort of profit maker for the manufacture who natura... | |
| Purpose of using same speakers for surround? Baxter, is there a small version of your M7's with similar drivers? I think if you pole people using matching speakers they're usually small bookshelf sized speakers with a subwoofer. Matching floor standing speakers might be overkill and difficul... | |
| Purpose of using same speakers for surround? I just saw Mission Improbable at an Imax theater. While I couldn't tell exactly what speakers they were using for the rears they were very large PA looking. I don't go in much for today's shoot-em-ups but the previous MI's were at least somewhat b... | |
