Thanks a lot, I appreciate thatI just feel like both are more popular choice and has great reviews and is within my price range. Also they fit well on my desk and have balanced outputs. I am most likely going to get a DDC though so USB input won't matter as much. Plus they are easier to sell if I didin't like them due to their popularity.
My friend has the qutest and we could trade DACs to listen to if I get these r2r DACs so I passed on the qutest. Metrum I was not too confident about the company situation so I am also passing on that.
Very good reasons, especially about getting more known products, to make it easier to sell them. I've noticed Head-Fi gear moves a lot slower on the used marked than regular HiFi in my area, but known products should help with this.
Thanks again.
