Metronome C5+ DSD DAC Tube Output
According to the model, 2 or 4 D/A converters use the best 24 bit / 192 kHZ or 32 bit / 384 kHz technology with 32 bit internal processing in order to restitute a beautiful clear and deep sound.
The upsampler and the D/A converters are fixed on independent PCB plugged on the main board, allowing potential upgrades. The type B USB digital input allows direct connexion with computers and accepts high resolution signals up to 32 bit / 384 kHz according to the model. Each digital input uses its own digital input receiver for a low level of jitter.
The analog stage receives four operational amplifyers typically chosen for their sound quality, their fast transitions and exceptional audio quality.
The power supply performs individual power transformers and independent regulation lines for each critical part of the converter providing inter-stage EMI/RFI radiation protection to insure analog-like sound quality.
D/A converters are available in black and silver finishings, two front plates heights, and optional Elektra external power supply.
