Metrum Pavane NOS DAC

Been listening to it for a few days now. This is a most beautiful sounding DAC. I'll give it a few more weeks before declaring it an astonishingly beautiful sounding DAC.

I wish I discovered it earlier, as it would have saved me a lot of money churning through equipment.

I will give you a sneak preview and let you know it keeps getting better for awhile. It beats the Hex in pretty much every way, and I think the Hex sounds quite good. By running the Antipodes DX source through the Pavane, I am not sure what else I would want, or how something could sound much better. BTW, I am using the Gemini unpowered USB cable. I would like to try the CAD cable.

AES + reclocker is the way to go. 50 feet AES cable here. Enough for 16 channels!

The Metrum DAC is... perfect. Beautiful beautiful sound.
Nothing else to say about it really. The closest digital gear to analog sounding.

Well, I wish it's cheaper so I can buy another one for left and right surround.

You can use it for surround?
