If someone pays that then it is worth it, that was its price new in the early 90's. Rarity value I think. There was someone on one of the forums, I think Wigwam, saying he was looking for one. I wouldn't pay £1500 for it even for history sake. The bling Statement amps were never my fav, did them for...

He already has two spare ones hanging off his chin

The amps are working perfectly at low to medium volume, as soon as he gives it some welly the amps are going pop. Four times now and two different sets of amplifiers A100s and A80s.

Could the output voltage of his DAC be too high?

As said here others are using the Metrum with no problem.

I don't see either how digital 'noise', even if if crossed into the analogue output signal, could blow an amp. I can assure it has and does happen, but mostly as you said if the volume is a digital control in the DAC, those have given spurious signals or pulses that have taken out amps and not just...
