Easiest way to find out is take the lid off one or check-in with Roelof at Metrum to find out.

Couldn't find exactly what I wanted but this from Jade I think & might help.

This link will show you the differences. Virtually the same except for the volume attenuator and connections. https://the-ear.net/review-hardware/metrum-acoustics-onyx-and-jade-digital-analogue-converter/

Mentioned this on the Musette thread the other day - have 2 x DAC TWO Mods coming up (he's keeping 2 for a Flint upgrade. May have more.

Give this a shot (scroll down) : https://www.m2tech.biz/products/usb-pen-devices/hiface-two/?lang=en If anyone interested have some DAC TWO Mods coming up and if he's kept them 8 more from a Pavane upgrade to DAC3 last year.

Cannot speak for those units but Adagio does. Cees used to Bi-Amp Speakers with 2 Fortes via RCA & XLR - switching Forte to each input.

There was unavoidable ‘history’ if you refer back in this thread. A set of very unfortunate circumstances particularly for Cees (and not only him). No hidden reasons. There’s mention below if not familiar - outlines some of those reasons (he was not being paid for any further development work...

‘Marketing’ has much to do with it – just like some Dacs claim to be NOS but are not true designs. The Balanced subject has come up before. Some Amps claim to be … but are not true designs : ‘When we use the term 'true balanced' we mean a circuit that is balanced from input to output, as...

Will report back but audio memory not reliable, as no direct comparison possible and due to travel will be 3+ weeks away from plugging in.

There’s a separate FPGA Module in original Pavane. This needs to be removed and the Digital boards then require circuit adjustments. DAC TWO Mods each contain their own FPGA.

Friend mentioned previously in Thailand, decided to upgrade his Pavane to DAC3 level. There will be 8 x DAC TWO Modules therefore available in a few weeks’ time. They are great upgrades for Flint, Musette & original Pavane. However some circuit adjustments are required in Pavane. PM me for more...

Friend in Thailand has upgraded his Pavane to DAC3 level. There are 8 x DAC TWO Modules therefore available in a few weeks’ time. This is a great upgrade for Musette. PM me for more info and I can put you in touch. Now sold.

Friend in Thailand (mentioned above) decided to upgrade his Pavane to DAC3 level. There are 8 x DAC TWO Modules therefore available in a few weeks’ time. Might be of interest to original Pavane owners but should note some circuit adjustments required. PM me for more info. Now sold.

A friend in Thailand has upgraded his Pavane to DAC3 level. There are 8 x DAC TWO Modules therefore available in a few weeks. Perfect upgrade for original Flint if anyone interested (US$100 for 2 Mods). PM me and I can put you in touch. Now sold.

Have a friend in Thailand looking to sell his Black L3 Pavane, which has been upgraded with DAC TWO Mods. If of interest PM me and I can put you in touch.

Have a friend in Thailand looking to sell his Black L3 Pavane, which has been upgraded with DAC TWO Mods. If of interest PM me and I can put you in touch. On a secondary ‘note’, there will be new products coming from M. No I don’t know what. Cees is independent from M but development work...

There’s logic behind a CDT offering I2S. It’s the standard digital internal interface within a CDP, so continuing that connection between separate Transport & Dac makes sense. Uncle Srajan has covered I2S more than any other : “The question is, why bother going squared? Don't standard Coax...

It’s a pity the Tube restricts bit-rates but guess only enthusiasts frustrated with that. Last I knew 256kbps AAC max (CD 1411). The best way is to download their recordings. Then of course you will be hearing it through your own Dac – sort of double Daccing...

Metrum are still in business but suffering parts supply issues along with everyone else. Sonnet are in the same boat.

Morph’s RJ45 (Ethernet cable) I2S connection conforms to M2Tech spec. You can check compatibility with other products here : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h5PMUBkldkpt1rCnAR4ZHYGZNeCe-vwIFyKWYMZWsX0/edit#gid=1130935268 According to 6 Moons some time back – even then there can be probs.

Some screws are tight so as mentioned care needed to start. They don't need to be so tight. As alternative get something like 16 in one driver set (they cost very little). More than one drive head fits.

Don’t have an Ambre to double check but believe casework screws common to other models. BA pic which is on hand at 2mm. Can’t help otherwise. Contact Lion or Roelof @ Metrum to confirm.

They are called Hex or Allen keys.

Believe 2mm. Screw heads can be stripped if not careful to start with. Apply very firm pressure to screw head to get started. When screwing back again firm pressure for final small twist but not too hard.
