Hi Srajan,
I have been an avid reader for many years. I am currently DACless and have been contemplating a number of options that you have reviewed and would like your take on. You have given both the Metrum Adagio and the Denafrips Terminator a Blue Moon award. In terms of just the quality of the DAC section and ignoring price, which one would you recommend? From your descriptions it sound like they have similar sound signatures.
Thanks
Peter
Two discrete R2R decks, both very good on PRaT, but the Denafrips would be chunkier and denser on tone and imaging. The other aspect is country of origin and infrastructure. It'll be very easy to get service with Metrum. With Denafrips a repair may necessitate shipment to China unless they already have importer repair centres in the EU and US. That I don't know.
