DIGITAL SHARING DSC1
DSC1 is the first model of Métronome’s new «DIGITAL SHARING» product range. DS stands for connected devices integrating DLNA and Airplay compatibility. You can play your music on a fantastic D/A converter and stream from the internet or your local network.
But DSC1 is above all a converter from Métronome, with this legendary analog sound reproduction, resulting of a 30 years experience in digital high-end audio.
Inside the box, two AK4497 D/A converters are fixed on independent PCB plugged on the main board, allowing potential upgrades. The analog stage receives four operational amplifiers, and the power supply performs individual power transformers and independent regula-tion lines for each critical part of the converter providing inter-stage EMI/RFI radiation protection for the best sound quality.
DSC 1 is so versatile that you may use it either like a classic D/A converter, with S/P DIF, AES-EBU, Optical or USB inputs, or like a network player. Enjoy all music formats up to DSD x8 (DSD512).
DSC1 is available in black and silver finishings.
