... ok, I just pulled the trigger :relaxed: be ready to run if it's not, at the very least, on par with my FW SIT-3 :smile:

seriously tempted by the Metrum Forte amplifier (to "match" my Adagio) does someone here have first-hand experience with it? (current ampli is a FirstWatt SIT-3)

why? it already comes with its a proprietary, excellent, separated LPS! or... yours came without? but congratulations: that one was my first Metrum DAC and I never moved away from the brand afterwards :-)

it is not about being allowed, it's about being useful to others: uninformed opinions are not what's wrong with asking, instead of venting? but... enough :wink:

right! :relaxed: what was happening back then has been reported here (in this very same thread, I believe) and on various local and international forums on social media people shouts against facts they know nothing about (nor they care searching any insight before doing so): pity this behaviour...

just received Metrum's Newsletter containing, essentially, this: "The audio products of both Metrum and Sonnet are produced in the same factory by the same team and share much of the same concepts and functionality. After two years of working side by side it is time to move in together and...

the Adagio already is amongst the best DACs out there DAC3 modules will give you an even better Adagio marginal? yes, past a given point... everything is just marginal and every *little* step is increasingly expensive a completely different "sound signature" (which is not the case with DAC3s)...

you're coming very late at the party! (and also thank Brexit :stuck_out_tongue:) paid 4k (€) for my Adagio, when I bought it (they took back my Hex for a 1.5k value) and 1.2k for DAC3 modules (first three months after release price was 200€ each + 50€ cashback for DAC2 modules)

plenty of brands releasing "new" products every six months out there: just pick one

still in love with my Adagio (DAC3 modules are worth every penny) :relaxed:

yes: I've only seen 12/15v in dual outputs P8 configurations. mine is single output

hi just bought a (very slightly) used P8 *single* something weird, though: it's a 12/15v unit and... I've never seen offered/mentioned anywhere this configuration :thinking: just curious as it is working fine powering my Cirrus7 (Roon ROCK)

updating my Adagio wasn't cheap but... definitely worth it! :relaxed:

let it run 24/7 for three weeks (this is what Metrum recommends as burn-in) then... come back to report
