c|AQWO 2
DSD DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERTER + SEPARATE POWER SUPPLY
c|AQWO 2 is the second generation of this most sophisticated converter from the Métronome brand. Now equipped with two conversion lines (ESS and AKM), it retains the famous Métronome feature that allows you to choose your output mode (transistor or tube) at any time according to your listening preferences (optional).
A second option will make the c|AQWO 2 one of the most efficient network players, delivering a performance with an exceptionally detailed soundstage, while remaining warm and analog. Musicality and emotion are there.
The two boxes of the c|AQWO 2 are available in two beautiful finishes, silver or black aluminum.
‘Plays with Audirvāna’ hardware products are certified to play music from Audirvāna software over USB or network with the best level of integration and audio performance (https://audirvana.com/partner-metronome/).
