Is the print of the Jade that different compared to the Onyx?

print? do you mean "footprint"?

As far as I know, the Onyx & Jade have the same case, size, footprint, etc. Only differences are the volume pot (and associated remote control) for the Jade.

(and of course, the higher price for the Jade)

By print I mean the PCB. Mainboard layout.

This link will show you the differences. Virtually the same except for the volume attenuator and connections.

Yeah it looks like there's 'only' an extra attenuator/potentiometer, but I doubt you can add this without any 'extra's to an Onyx PCB...

I have the JADE, very happy with it (but not using the volume; my PRIMARE PRE does that...)

I came along this classified . The seller says there's a switch inside the Onyx DAC to adjust the voltage. Can somebody tell me more about that (hopefully with a picture)?

Hi! On this page of the 6moons review you will find this info just below the image of the board.

I don't know if the seller was talking about the AC voltage? I am wondering if you can adjust the output (signal) voltage??
@BorisT : in the image there are points just in the middle connected with the red lines. They seem to be for the AC DC connection...

Hey that’s me.
This is from Sonnet Morpheus but similar switch is inside Onyx as well I believe. New one though, atleast in Sonnet, has been replaced with jumper cable but still can be managed by end user. So do check with Metrum on new one. Old one had these switches.

@kumar402 : Ok, but that is for the mains voltage. I was wondering if there is a possibility to adjust the gain voltage (for output volume)??

ya I was talking about AC voltage as I had many potential buyer coming up with this specific question

ya sorry for confusion.....gain setting is inside Sonnet Morpheus and Pasithea where we can do -10dB attenuation with an internal switch.
I dont think Onyx has that Feature.

 

[Vhond]

That would have been a nice feature (do you have coincidentally a picture of the Morpheus gains feature)?

I don’t have pic but I currently have Pasithea and it has that switch internally and even in settings we can do -10dB setting in Morpheus and Pasithea. Either of the two options can be used interchangeably or together to go down further if the power amp is too powerful.

So below taken from Manual. It’s as easy as sliding it
