MÉTRONOME DSS 2

After the great success of DSS, Métronome announces its second generation, logically called DSS 2. A streaming and network player, the DSS 2 now has Wi-Fi connection inside and manages DSD up to 256.

DSS was Métronome's first streaming transport, logically positioned in the Digital Sharing product range. The DSS 2 retains the small DSS housing (25x25x7 cm/9.8 × 9.8 × 2.8 inches), making it easy to integrate into any configuration. Fresh touches are a new grey colour on the key and the pictogram on the front panel. The new model adds essential features: Wi-Fi is now integrated and the Métronome DSS 2 plays native DSD files up to x4 (DSD256).

Although 100% of the electronics and software are new, the DSS 2 maintains the perfection and stability of its plug-and-play capability. In addition, it supports MQA. DSS 2 is UPnP and DLNA certified, and can be used with all player applications under those protocols; the recommended application is mConnect Control. It is also Roon Ready, compatible with Audirvāna and is Airplay 1 and Airplay 2 certified.

Jean Marie Clauzel, owner and designer of Métronome, said: "For DSS 2, it was essential to keep all the technical and audiophile qualities of the first generation and improve its resolution as a transmitter. With the ability to go up to DSD256, I am sure that the objectives are achieved!"
