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.

Morganc, I sent a couple of messages to you through Audiogon, but haven't heard back. Please check your inbox
/ Thankful: would you give us an update of the comparisons between the EE MinMax Dac Plus with Dexa opamps, the Lampizator Level 4 and the PS Audio PWD MKII?

Thanks!

To other EE MiniMax owners: do you have a good experience upgrading other components? E.g. the output capacitors (if so, Auricap or Mundorf) ?
