A thread for fans of the Dutch designers of Non Oversampling DACs Metrum Acoustics.   There are various threads about various of the company's DACs - the Octave, Hex, Musette, Menuet, and the flagship Pavane, as well as the Aurix amp.     But we thought it might be good to have a thread...

A thread for those of us interested in the most recent member of the Metrum Acoustics family - the NOS DAC Menuet.   Slotting in between the flagship Pavane and the (highly recommended) entry level Musette, the Menuet features four of the Dutch designers' proprietary Transient Technology R2R...

Hi All   I'm wondering whether I should be upgrading from the D10 to a seperate Amp and DAC, such as the rDAC and the Graham Slee Novo?   Will I be getting a big increase in SQ?   I'm using 325is and Ultrasone 780s and a Macbook Pro (mainly lossless files)   Any thoughts?  ...

Hi All   Just joined the site, wondered if I can tap into your collective expertise?   I'm looking to get some closed back headphones.  I currently have a pair of Grado 325s (which I like) but I need a pair with good sound isolation as I listen mainly at my desk in a small office to...
