I’m the guy who’s system bigkidz heard.
First off, we used two different inputs so we are comparing apples to oranges.
Between the Jays transport and the Terminator I use a HDMI Wireworld Platinum cable.
With Metronome we used a Cerious Technologies digital coax.
I thought the hdmi sounded more open and livelier but, had a more upfront presentation.
When we used the digital coax with the Jay’s and Termi it also sounded pretty similar the the Metronome and Termi pairing. It became smoother, had a deeper soundstage but the Jay’s was more dynamic and had more air.
Difference of opinion. I don’t think the Metronome was better just a little different presentation.
Both were excellent. If you can get the Metronome used for a good price you’ll get a hell of a transport.
IMO, the Jay’s is just as good, maybe even better and you can get it new plus it is built like a tank.
