Metronome DSC D / A Converter, Streamer and digital Pre-Amplifier launched. DSC marks the beginning of a new era for Métronome, launching its first “three-in-one” device: a top converter, a streamer and above all a digital preamplifier thanks to the integration of the Leedh Processing volume control.
Integrating the online listening services of Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify and Deezer (after subscribing), it also manages all the music stored on your local network using the UPnP and DLNA protocol. Internet radios are also available.
DSC natively decodes DSD up to DSD512, all PCM files up to 32 bit / 384 kHz, and supports MQA codec. It is based on an ES9038PRO conversion microprocessor and integrates the most efficient management systems.
The entire DSC chassis is made of solid aluminum, available in black and silver finishes.
