Quick Navigation Computer/Digital Audio Top My audio confidant was with me and to be clear this was not a scientific test, simply a level matched dac dual that we could A/B on the fly Both sounded the same no advantage there in terms of the level matching This was done a couple of different ways, with the Sonnet dac and with the pre amp. We had to level match the outputs from dacs to the Jeff Rowland Corus preamp. Not by a big margin in any category but every category one would apply to a digital device.īoth fed from an individual Ambre streamers ( I own two) and both using the same i2s feed cables and Ethernet cables. I own a Pavane with the new chips and have had the Sonnet dac here on an extended visit and the conclusion was the Pavane was the best of the two. Cees is very responsive via email even for Metrum customers, FYI.Not necessarily trying to revive old news here or be contrary …. And within the Metrum brand I'm still enjoying my Onyx DAC upgraded with DAC3 chips from Metrum (Cees says they are based on his Sonnet Morpheus and provide 95% of its performance) fed with I2S from the Ambre streamer.
