LE DAC by METRONOME will not surprise anyone who had been interesting to the brand for some years. The external design is classic, and LE DAC dimensions and materials have already been seen on many products : massive alloy front plate, 2mm-thick steel chassis.
Inside the box are also present the essential elements of a Metronome’s top-range DAC : Asahi Kasei’s conversion processor, high-end electronic components, and the famous Métronome’s power supplies savoir-faire.
LE DAC will be shipping in January 2019, it is available in Silver and Black finishes
LE DAC by Métronome is joining the company's LE PLAYER with the same philosophy of product positioning - That is to offer the same high quality of construction and quality of sound reproduction as much more expensive products designed and made under the brand Métronome.
Both products are made in Métronome’s workshops after being designed in Métronome’s design office with the goal of offering a high-end device with a smart price.
