Most of their reviews are not on line as they take no ads and support the magazine by sales of it alone. Look at their Colloms rating for CD players and dacs; the Metrum right out of the box scored 185 on this scale. You can order the back issue of the magazine or possibly order the review alone. In any case they are selling for about as much used as they cost new so you wouldn't be risking much.
Paging Stanwal-Any update on the Metrum Octave
Very interesting 6 Moons review. The Totaldac review left me envious of those who can afford that level of possible digital deprecation. Sounds like the Octave gets very close to the flavor of the Totaldac at a far more sensible price using a similar topology with different components.
I'm shopping for a new DAC and I'm concerned by the maze of feature driven products and reviews that seem to gloss over the products sonic presentation. While digital may never be my primary form of media it would be nice to find something that could live up to half of that review.
I was a bit confused by the menu of products. If you don't mind answering, exactly what did you order and what was the cost? And of course if you have it, how does it sound?
