Metrum Musette or Schitt Gungnir Multibit?

Looking for a DAC to pair with Ars Sonum Filarmonia and Merlin TSM monitors. Mostly listen to redbook but becoming interested in streaming. The Musette and Gungnir are in my price range and have been favorably reviewed. Anyone have experience with both? Other suggestions?

pmboyd,

Four day shipping via DHL is $50 so you risk with $100 only.
LOL. any transaction involves some risk. 😛

+3 Denefrips Ares R2R

Another R2R to consider? Soekris dac1101.

I have no doubt that the Ares works for you, but from my point of view one risks questionable resale value if it doesn't for me. Just saying. I wish there were more of a track record for it.

pmboyd,

Check the head-fi forum. It seems that many are ordering these and there will be probably more reviews soon. I`ve seen only one used Ares and it sold for the new price within a day or so because it was already in US. It was sold because owner wanted to go up in Denafrips line.
Gungnir Multibit has also created a lot of fuzz so it may be something to consider also. Metrum Hex seems also interesting.

Good Luck!

The Ares looks very tempting . I have a Metrum Octive feed by a Foccusrite Red Net 3 AOIP and love it . I wonder how the Ares compares to the Metrum ?
