Audiophilleo vs Empirical audio offramp

I currently have a metrum octave DAC being fed by an Audiophilleo 2 converter. I've been thinking of replacing it with an Offramp 4 or 5, but am not sure if it is worth it. Has anyone compared these two directly (doesn't necessarily have to be with a metrum DAC)? Most say that the offramp is slightly better, but does this increase in performance make it worth 3x the price (since you will also need to buy a SPDIF cable for the offramp). Let me know what you think.

You might have seen my other post over at the PC Forum, but in case you haven't: it might be worth connecting with member Elberoth over at computer audiophile.com for his view. His reference is a DCS Scarlatti, and he also has a Metrum Octave which he tried with both the OR5 and AP2 with Pure Power. He also tried an M2Tech full Evo stack.
