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.

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.
IMO, leaves nothing on the table.
Bass is an area where the Pavane is noticeably better than the Hex. Through my big DNA-2 Signature amp, and Aerial 9 speakers, bass is full, deep and detailed.

On another topic, any of you compare the Totaldac USB cable directly with the CAD USB cable?
