Paging Stanwal-Any update on the Metrum Octave

Very interesting 6 Moons review. The Totaldac review left me envious of those who can afford that level of possible digital deprecation. Sounds like the Octave gets very close to the flavor of the Totaldac at a far more sensible price using a similar topology with different components.

I'm shopping for a new DAC and I'm concerned by the maze of feature driven products and reviews that seem to gloss over the products sonic presentation. While digital may never be my primary form of media it would be nice to find something that could live up to half of that review.

I was a bit confused by the menu of products. If you don't mind answering, exactly what did you order and what was the cost? And of course if you have it, how does it sound?

There's nothing wrong with reading reviews! Although knowing where the reviewer is coming from and their particular biases is also very helpful in analyzing their opinions.
Certainly it's a place to start sometimes. Not all reviewers are sinister evil people as some might have us believe, just some of them.
