Sonnet Audio Morpheus


No shortage of DACs out there for sure.

But here’s another DAC worth some investigation.
Anyone here own one or heard one?
Opinions, impressions?

I read the 6Moons review where it earned a Blue Moon Award but
I find their reviews cryptic and the writing style difficult to follow.

Built in Netherlands, available in US.
Not cheap but far from the upper end.

I think Srajan (Six Moons) brings a wonderful perspective -- but yes, his reviews can require some patience to parse...

On my read, his main (or most important) points on the Pasithea are (1) like the Morpheus, it's a truly excellent preamp -- in most applications, it should sound just as good direct as through a quality analog preamp and (2) it has an exceptionally low noise floor and high resolution, without sacrificing tone or emotion.

I used to own the Morpheus, I may try the Pasithea one of these days...

Interesting quote. His bringing his colleagues/friends (Darko & Lavorgna/Twittering Machines) into the Sonnet discussion is a little weird. Those guys favor the dCS Bartok, Mola Mola Tambaqui, the totaldac d1 tube mk2 and the dCS Rossini -- he hasn't reviewed those, as far as I can tell. So for him to say (even if not definitively, not that reviews are definitive) that the latest Sonnet dac "probably belongs side by side with them or at least gets close" is something of a head scratcher.
