Naggots may I suggest the Stereovox Ultra. I just did a shoot out between the Veloce,which I've owned for a year, the Silverstar 75 and the Ultra. Hands down the Ultra was significantly better. I believe you are not really hearing your DAC until you hear it with the Ultra, I was not.I'd not eat for a week if that's what it took to afford the Ultra....it's that much better. Chris is coming out with a new updated connector for the Ultra which will even increase the bandwidth more.
Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC
I own an Eastern Electric DAC, the older one with volume control, no mods. Have any of you in the community compared these two units? Would I be better off doing the op amp upgrade, buy the newest EE with upgrades?
I have enjoyed the EE and like it well enough, but I am curious about the Metrum. I would like slightly more warmth, more fullness, a little more meat and bones, without losing any of the detail I now enjoy.
