Really, I hope you are kidding? I never tried mine with metal. I am warming up the amps now, I don't think I can sleep.

    Rap and pop artists wearing metal shirts is actually a thing. I doubt Kanye West listens to Cradle of Filth. Poser.

    LOL, Darryl, I got ADHD. My Ushers are in the bedroom so I put on "reading music". I can't read and hear lyrics at the same time. Now that I think about it, I have only played mellow stuff on them. I did put on some Metallica last night with cold amps and it was fine.

    Well, **** bells, I do happen to have that on the Mini SSD (wink wink (not in the gey way)) Let's say we give it a spin, bloody wanker! But seriously folks, this Aurilac Mini is a really great piece of kit, probably the coolest piece dollar for dollar, pound for pound that I have ever acquired. This SOB is kind of dictating my next move lol.

    Being able to put a SSD drive inside and play hi-Rez files and be separated from a PC is Great. Kind of a Game changer B) and I think the DAC sounds very good!
