It will allow you to decode the highest resolution files, such as DSD512, from all your mobile and network devices, through DLNA protocol. The Metronome making assures a high manufacturing quality, but above all the pleasure of a precise and refined sound reproduction. In one word, this is live music !\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nHighlights and Design specifications:\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAs always, the entire design and engineering was made by Métronome Technologie research and innovation office.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nDSC1 is a top high-end D\/A converter, which uses two last-generation conversion chips AK4497 (one per channel). This results in an excellent precision, which perfectly conjugates with the analogue savoir-faire of Métronome... Sound reproduction is very well defined, aerial, and powerful…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe power supply is integrated inside the massive aluminium chassis, and is made of 4 toroidal transformers and 10 independent regulation lines. The D\/A board is independent of the main board allowing DSC1 to accept future upgrades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThanks to its timeless sleek design, DSC1 will integrate beautifully all audio systems...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nDSC1 is the first model of Métronome’s new «DIGITAL\nSHARING» product range. DS stands for connected\ndevices integrating DLNA and Airplay compatibility. You\ncan play your music on a fantastic D\/A converter and\nstream from the internet or your local network.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBut DSC1 is above all a converter from Métronome, with\nthis legendary analog sound reproduction, resulting of a\n30 years experience in digital high-end audio.\nInside the box, two AK4497 D\/A converters are fixed on\nindependent PCB plugged on the main board, allowing\npotential upgrades. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe analog stage receives four\noperational amplifiers, and the power supply performs\nindividual power transformers and independent regulation\nlines for each critical part of the converter providing\ninter-stage EMI\/RFI radiation protection for the best\nsound quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nDSC1 is so versatile that you may use it either like a\nclassic D\/A converter, with S\/P DIF, AES-EBU, Optical\nor USB inputs, or like a network player. Enjoy all music\nformats up to DSD x8 (DSD512).\nDSC1 is available in black and silver finishings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTechnical Specifications:-\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nD\/A Converter resolution:\u003cbr\u003e\n32 bit \/ 384 kHz technology\u003cbr\u003e\n2 conversion processors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSample rate converter:\u003cbr\u003e\nDynamic range capacity : 175 dB \/ Distorsion + noise : -140 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nInternal processing 32 bit \/ Input frequency range from 32 to 211\nkHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAnalog stage line:\u003cbr\u003e\nClass A international polarization\u003cbr\u003e\nSolid state : Frequency bandwith : 10 Hz - 20 Hz +\/- 0.1 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nDynamic range capacity : 140 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nTube stage line : 10 Hz - 25 Hz +\/- 0.1 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nDigital inputs:\u003cbr\u003e\nAll imputs accept from 44.1 to 192 kHz signal sampling rate:\u003cbr\u003e\nS\/PDIF 75 Ohms RCA : 2 connectors\u003cbr\u003e\nAES\/EBU 110 Ohms XLR connector\u003cbr\u003e\nToslink connector\u003cbr\u003e\nUSB type B connector (signals \u0026gt;192 kHz)\u003cbr\u003e\nEthernet LAN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAnalog outputs:\u003cbr\u003e\nUnbalanced 3 V RMS @0dB -47 Ohms - RCA connectors\u003cbr\u003e\nBalanced 3 V RMS @0 dB - 600 Ohms - XLR connectors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPower supply:\u003cbr\u003e\nEMI rejection by Schaffner filters, 4 main toroidal transformers and\n10 separated independent regulation lines\u003cbr\u003e\nVoltage:\u003cbr\u003e\n100 VAC - 50\/60 Hz Japan\u003cbr\u003e\n120\/240 VAC - 50\/60 Hz Other Countries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOther characteristics:\u003cbr\u003e\nPower consumption : 35 VA\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions (WxHxD) : 435 x 90 x 435 mm Weight : 17.5 kg","brand":"Metronome Technologie","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":57414145409356,"sku":"METRONOMEDSC1-SILVER","price":16665.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":57423415968076,"sku":"METRONOMEDSC1-B","price":16665.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/Metronome-DSC1.jpg?v=1777547783","url":"https:\/\/www.stoneaudio.co.uk\/products\/metronome-technologie-dsc1-digital-sharing-converter","provider":"Stone Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
