The uber Off-Ramp with all options sounds more natural, real, and analogue like. It bests any other converter I have tried into the Metrum - and I have tried a lot - Stello, AP2, Wavelenghth, JK, Berkeley - they all fell.
The only issue is cost. If that is an issue get the AP2.
The Metrum and Off-Ramp is a competitor for DAC's in the $3k price bracket - which is what the combo costs. Other DAC's in that price bracket are preferred by some - its not consistent. If you are spending that sort of money listen to others such as a PDX and Tranquility.
Thanks
