The new converters constitute the latest version of METRONOME TECHNOLOGIE Converters series , has inherited of the

 most recent developments and proprietary improvements performed by METRONOME TECHNOLOGIE with a very high

 level of quality achievement. Main Highlights and Design Features: The two D/A converters using the best 24 bit/192

kHz technology with 32 bit internal processing permit fast music restitution with clearer and deeper sound. The

upsampler and the D/A converters are fixed on an independent PCB plugged on the main board which permits easy

possible upgrade. The USB type B digital output permits direct connection with a computer (PC and Mac) and accepts

high resolution signals such as HD_Master (24bit/192kHz). Each digital input uses its own Digital Input Receiver for a

lower level of jitter. The analog stage includes four operational amplifiers typically chosen for their sound quality, their

fast transitions and exceptional audio quality (very transparent, open & aerial) A user friendly digital screen shows the

signal frequency of the selected input. The power supply with individual power transformers and completely

independent regulation lines for each critical part of the converter - digital input stage, digital upsampling and

processing, converter, analog output - provides an inter-stage EMI/RFI radiation protection to insure a dynamic analog-

like sound quality. The model C5 is a solid state version, becoming C6 with addition of tubes, and C8 includes a switch

function from solid state to tubes and an external ELEKTRA power supply.
