The Hermes has appeared online, more info over here: https://www.sonnet-audio.com/Hermes.html I like “At Sonnet Digital Audio we do not believe in “taking prisoners”, hence the choice to provide our clients with an open platform.” Looking forward to see the final internal pics and price.- Fredoo

Sonnet Digital Audio: New kid on the block, well.. not really!
Hi, I thought somewhere “it is designed to better the Ambre” was mentioned. But unfortunately I can’t find the quote at the moment.. For Facebook users I can recommend connecting with Cees, he frequently shares Sonnet and Acelec related insights and progression. (When I see interesting Sonnet...- Fredoo

I’m trying to understand what your remark is. I believe the Adagio and Morpheus have a similar approach on adjusting volume/output. If you have other information, please share Description of the Adagio (from Metrum site) : “The idea of having a decent volume control to prevent a necessary...- Fredoo

With 16 ladder DAC’s better to compare the Morpheus with the Adagio. It seems to be at least similar, at about half the price.- Fredoo

Sonnet Digital Audio: New kid on the block, well.. not really!
The availability and (introduction) prices for the new Sonnet Morpheus DAC are just announced. Just wow..!! Is this an Adagio level DAC/pre at half the price? Given the new design with improved DAC modules/FPGA it could even out perform the Adagio and others. Cees' announcement: We have...- Fredoo

Metrum Pavane
Thanks for sharing, I think it’s important to understand what ‘DAC performance’ would mean in this context: 1) Performance of one new DAC module card (vs one Metrum DAC TWO module) 2) Performance of the DAC section of the RoonDAC (with 2 modules) compared with 8 modules of the Adagio/Pavane. 3)...- Fredoo

You're very welcome George and Matt :) As I understood this RoonDAC will compete with DAC's in the € 2.000-3.000 range (thanks to the new DAC module). Below you find the board and a picture of the new DAC module (as posted on Cees' FB earlier). Considering the price, I guess it's a hard to...- Fredoo
