Metrum Acoustics Hex Dac with upgraded 1588LL output transformers

Selling this Metrum Hex dac for a friend. The Metrum is still a credible and excellent contender compared to the newer dacs today. The particularity of this dac is that the Metrum Hex dac is at it’s full potential with the upgraded Lundahl LL1588 output transformers. I myself have the Metrum Hex in one of my systems and have compared between the Hex with LL1527XL (standard output transformers) and the Hex with LL1588 transformers. You gain in precision and sound stage. The musical score is just that much more real. Bottom line, if you are going to own the Metrum Hex you want the dac with the upgraded OPTs.

The Hex is packaged with Ocellia Reference pure silver interconects XLR to RCA. The interconnect has been modified by Samuel Furon of Ocellia himself. The reason why you need to take the signal from the XLR output is to get that extra gain that makes the Hex tight and punchy but retaining the very natural musical character of the dac. With this interconnect there is no question that the weakest link will NOT be the interconnect between you preamp or integrated amp. This Ocellia cable is in perfect synergy with the dac.

Regarding the USB input. This Dac seems to have the upgraded version of the USB input: silver USB contour compared to the older version that has a black contour.
