Hi Bluecar, thanks for sharing your impressions :slight_smile: Thanks for trying local storage options, I currently use the MU1 with a NAS. Will give USB storage a try 👍

After Cees Ruijtenberg -who founded Sonnet Audio- introduced the Sonnet Morpheus pre/DAC (which amazingly outperforms the Metrum Adagio, at half the price!) a new streamer will soon hit the market: the Sonnet Hermes. Good to give/share a small summary, some reviews are expected to appear. The...

Hi Ken, here you can find some direct comparisons: https://alpha-audio.net/review/review-sonnet-morpheus-dac-pre-amp/3/

Cees was the founder of Metrum and All Engineering, which he sold in July 2018. In August 2019 Cees founded Sonnet Digital Audio. All Engineering went bankrupt in Feb 2020.

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.

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...

Alpha Audio has reviewed Morpheus, good to share: https://alpha-audio.net/2020/02/video-review-sonnet-morpheus-dac-pre-amp/?fbclid=IwAR2EOxTtsluMRfbXCsLQbzvexZeIXn6YJUPjYzs4NbAenj1UyniEtf3kitg

Besides the Morpheus, the next model is already in the pipeline: Hermes (I believe Roon Certification is in progress).

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...

Et voilà, the first review of the Morpheus: https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/sonnet-digital/

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.

A look inside the Morpheus: The first batch is already sold out

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...

For what it is worth: DAC shoot out / test bench: Final warp Adagio: "Best analogue sounding" is quite a nice compliment :)

Cees Ruijtenberg (founder of Metrum Acoustics) has announced that registration for his new ‘RoonDAC’ is open, with Sonnet Digital Audio as a company name. The company is only just started, all quite fresh. Over at the Metrum Pavane topic (High End audio forum) first information about the...

Please feel free to start a topic :relaxed:

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)...

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...

Hi Ken, I guess the company is only just started, all quite fresh.

Hi Matt, You can best use search in FB: Cees Ruijtenberg Below you can find a copy/past of his post Cheers, Fred === Dear all We are ready to inform you about the prices for the Roon dac. It took a while because I am not allowed to make deliveries myself due to contractual obligations but...

Cees has announced that registration for his new ‘RoonDAC’ is open, with Sonnet Digital Audio as a company name. A new product from a well known brain: - streamer/endpoint and a DAC in one device - contains the brand new DAC modules which will be used in the new speaker line up (with 4 ladders...
