Metrum octave or Wyred 4 sound coax vs usb

hi my friends.
you very help me with what to buy i think i go with Wyerd 4 sound, in my country i have option to buy W4S-dac1 in budget of 1000$ instead of 1500$ price (bcz is it israel is very expensive country lol).
but on the other hand i get recommendation from here in audiogon on the dac of metrum octave that sounded very good with kind of my speakers (devore nines) and leben (amp) someone here work with metrum octave mini nos dac with similar components system to mine (shindo and nines).
but i read that metrum dac need very good usb to spdif convert like audiophilo that coast 1000$ so i like to know
if i dont use convert usb to spdif and connected pc-->coax-->metrum dac .is it sound better then wyred 4 sound dac1 or not. or i must use spdif to usb convert to enjoy the metrum octave dac (and is it must be expensive usb spdif convert like audiophilo)?
sorry if im not understood in simple words what will be good buy for me : Wyred 4 Sound dac1 in my country 1000$, or to buy Metrum octave mini nos dac from audiogon in 1000$ + OR NOT with usb to spdif convert ???

please i wanna know what to buy .:-)

hi first thanks alot for the responses from you all.

i still in dilemma about the metrum octave i m read Bhobba post above is say :" you must feed both by something like an Audiophellio 2 "

i know that audiophellio 2 coast 1000$ so is alot more then buy asynchronous dac so now im really dont know what to do lol. i must buy audiophellio for W4S DAC AND METRUM OCTAVE and if not buy it it will be sound like my rdac asy dac or is it still worth the buy bcz if not i m not wanna spent 2000$ for dac only 1000$ its the limit so what you suggest me ?
