@nitewulf @justjames72 - +1!
I enjoy my Onyx as well, and good to know that its so good that the Pavane, even though I'm sure it's likely a "little" better than the Onyx, it may not be justifiable for the add'l $$ required.
I run mine via AES/EBU from a Gustard U16 DDC (MacBook Pro connected to the U16 via USB), and the music is highly engaging, exciting, while liquid and natural!
I would love to know if the Ambre would be an upgrade to my setup above?? Now that Roon supports Tidal and Qobuz (btw, I think Qobuz hi-res is much better than Tidal MQA, but I don't have the Metrum module in my Onyx to do the second unwrapping of MQA), it might be time to try an Ambre. Any thoughts?
