Metronome DSC Mini DAC

The DSC mini is part of a major evolution in Métronome’s digital sharing range and has been specially designed to be paired with the Métronome DSS 2.

Receiving the native I²S signal from the DSS 2, the DSC mini is the ideal component for converting music files of all formats up to DSD256.

The chassis is made of steel with a solid aluminium front panel, available in black and silver finishes.
