Metner MA3 vs Playback Designs MPD-6


Sonically, as well as in certain architectural ways, these two DACs are fairly similar. In price, however, they are several thousand dollars apart. Is the MA3 the poor man’s MPD-6?

@arafiq its silly to even suggest anyone is "comparing" Ed and Andreas. They have completely different skill sets. They are quite literally incomparable. 

Next, if calling a dealer out for being dishonest is unappreciated, just say it. You dont want the truth. Whats "vile" is you perpetrating a narrative based on truths you dont happen to like. What you dont like is my disruptive force. Sorry if I offend your feelings. Its not my intent.   

Definitely a fan.

Good to hear that you have both DACs. I need a DAC to finish my Livingroom system. The PBD reputation made me get a PBD streamer already (a great unit). However, I want to hear a PBD DAC in my system first before I decide to spend that amount of cash. I will get in touch with you later when I am ready to demo.
