Metronome Le DAC 3 DSD Converter
Le DAC 3 represents a new milestone in the evolution of Métronome devices.
It retains the brand’s classic aesthetic while pushing the limits of its performance, supporting PCM file playback up to 768 kHz and DSD up to 1024 (DSD x 16), delivering a sound that is both lively and natural.
This generation stands out with two I2S inputs and optional integrated streaming, opening new possibilities for connection and listening while remaining true to Métronome’s spirit of innovation.
