Metronome DSC DAC + Streamer + Digital Preamplifier
- Description
Description
DSC starts a new era for Métronome, which launches its first “three-in-one” device: a top converter, streamer and above all digital pre-amplifier thanks to the integration of Leedh Processing’s volume control technology.
Integrating the online services of Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify and Deezer (after subscribing), it also manages all the music stored on your local network by UPnP and DLNA protocols.
DSC decodes DSD natively up to DSD512, all PCM files up to 32-bit / 384kHz, and supports the MQA codec. It is based on an ES9038PRO conversion microprocessor, and integrates the most efficient internal computing systems.
The complete DSC chassis is machined from high grade billets of aluminum, available in black and silver finishes.
