Have anyone replaced fuses on this product? If so, any recommendation?
My Metrum Octave arrived!!!
First impression is that it sounds almost exactly like my "old" NFB3, but with some improvements in detail, attack, air, bass and better placement of instruments. Timbre and everything else sounds very much alike. 15 minutes of listening... let's see how it improves with time.
As soon as po$$ible I'll upgrade my Audio-GD DI v1 to Audiophileo or any other good converter.

I grabbed one out of curiosity in the sale forum for a good price. To be honest I thought it was terribly bad value for money. It sounds very good but to my surprise it was indistinguishable from the MDAC sonic wise through my system (HE-6 +Topping TP60). It retails in the UK for £720 while the MDAC is only £600 but include a decent headphone amplifier, remote control, display, asynchronous USB, balanced outputs, SPDIF out. The overall built quality and finish was also quite mediocre compare to the MDAC.
How are you connecting it?
The Octave's sound quality is directly tied to the feed quality. So if expecting 'written press review' experiences something like an AP2 or JKSPDIF are needed
