METRONOME AQWO

Like all DAC + CD hybrids, AQWO perpetuates the analog quality of Metronome both for its playback function and digital-to-analog conversion, with a number of inputs and outputs allowing it to be used with many sources. Its large 21/9, 6 1/2 inch screen makes it easy to read the current music information from a confidence distance.

AQWO is factory installed with AOP outputs, and a tube option can be installed to order or later. Like all Metronome converters, AQWO decodes PCM and DSD up to 512 (x8).

Solid and robust, AQWO is available in a silver or black finish.
