I went from a Metrum Octave to a LampizatOr Gen 4/Level 4 DAC and couldn't be happier. It wasn't until I put the Lamp in that I realized how unnatural and unmusical the Metrum was. The two DACs are NOT peers.
PS audio Perfect Wave DAC MKII or Metrum Octave
I currently have a Metrum Octave with an audiophilleo-2 feeding USB to it (USB is my primary source). I've been getting the upgrade bug recently and have been looking at the PWD MKII, which apparently doesn't need a USB->SPDIF converter. Financially, this would be a pretty substantial increase, but would I really get that much more out of it? Has anyone compared the two?
Thanks
