Metronome
Metronome DSC Streaming D/A Converter
The DSC marks the start of a new era for Métronome, which launches its first "three-in-one" device: a top converter, streamer, and above all a digital pre-amp to the integration of Leedh Processing's volume control.
Top high-end converter, digital streamer and pre-amplifier, DSC has everything it takes to be the essential link in the audiophile hi-fi system, and always with the Metronome sound!
With its three functions, DSC was designed to become the heart of your hi-fi installation. The streaming and network playback feed the high-level digital to analog converter, and at the output the digital volume control will positively replace the best preamplifiers. Incorporating the most powerful and musical conversion processors, a particular care is taken as always to the quality of the power supply.
DSC can of course be used as a “normal” DAC with all your digital sources. 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.
