Reviews
“What a pleasure it is to listen to clear music with a constant sense of accuracy, precision, and naturalness all at once. The balance is established with a high informational power about the quality of the recordings, without diminishing the emotion, rhythm, or the sense of rediscovered truth. Yes, it’s truly impressive. Bravo!”
HiFi Pig Magazine February 2023
“French brand Metronome present their mid-market CD/Streamer and matching DAC for a combined price of $17,440. They are beautifully finished and should be bought as a pair as they complement each other so well. Sonically they are an easy to listen to pairing with the sonic signature being one of fine detail presented in a relaxed, solid and engaging manner.”
” The Le DAC 2 is simply a DAC, but there is no need to pay additional costs for a preamplifier, volume control, or network streamer; it is literally just a DAC. The Le DAC 2 is a component with a wonderful sound, very natural and organic in texture. It is detailed, captivating, impressive, and a little more coherent than other devices tested so far. The music seems more versatile and interesting than with many other converters. It reveals every resolution and detail, everything one desires, and most importantly, it truly connects us to the music. It is a real pleasure to use.”
