Vinyl et Audio, November 2024
“The Métronome DSC mini is not only a high-level, versatile, and compact DAC but also, thanks to its functionalities, the ideal partner for the Métronome DSS 2 network player or Métronome Le Streamer, as well as for any other server/streamer from another brand, which it will elevate through the excellence of its circuits. Highly musical and strongly recommended.”
Sempre Audio, April 2025

This is exactly the case with Métronome DSS 2 Network Player and Streamer and Métronome DSC mini, as becomes clear when you experience this duo in harmony. The most remarkable thing is that such a level of quality is delivered in such a compact form.”
