AQWO 2+
DAC + SACD/CD + STREAMER + SEPARATE POWER SUPPLY
The complete player, with its power supply set apart.
AQWO 2+ separates the power supply from the audio circuits. Two chassis, one source.
The same conversion, the same drive, the same network player as AQWO 2. The supply leaves the main chassis and takes its own, joined by a dedicated umbilical. Mechanical and electromagnetic interference is kept away from the audio stage.
Métronome’s signature analogue sound, from your CD and SACD collection, from the network or from USB. The 7-inch 21:9 touchscreen gives direct access to sources, filters and volume. Ethernet or dual band Wi-Fi, MQA renderer, Roon Ready.
