Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC

I own an Eastern Electric DAC, the older one with volume control, no mods. Have any of you in the community compared these two units? Would I be better off doing the op amp upgrade, buy the newest EE with upgrades?

I have enjoyed the EE and like it well enough, but I am curious about the Metrum. I would like slightly more warmth, more fullness, a little more meat and bones, without losing any of the detail I now enjoy.

Opinions on this matter (metrum octave vs EE dac) seems to be mixed, but the major consensus is that the metrum octave have more resolution and transparency.

But the guys who liked the octave never made any tweaks on his EE dac.

@mikirob, If you have the chance to make a more detailed comparison it would be great.
