AQWO 2
AQWO 2 is the latest hybrid DAC, SACD / CD and streamer from Métronome. Delivering an emotional analogue experience through the use of superlative high-end DACs and circuitry is the Métronome trademark, and this latest iteration in the AQWO line is another step-up for the brand.
AQWO 2 features a new, larger 6½” touchscreen with a 21:9 aspect ratio allowing it to be read at a distance and making it simple to manage the settings.
Like many other Métronome devices, AQWO 2 can be provided with an analogue tube output. This can be installed at the factory or later by your technician. As a converter, AQWO 2 manages both PCM and DSD formats up to 512 (x8).
A robust unit with clean lines and understated style, AQWO 2 is available in silver, black and gold finishes.
