  • Posted on 28 January 2025

At Martins Hi-Fi, we’re thrilled to introduce Metronome Audio, a brand synonymous with uncompromising sound quality and timeless design. For audiophiles who crave technical mastery and emotional resonance, we’re proud to showcase four standout models: the Le Player + CD transport, Le DAC2 digital-to-analog converter, DSC Mini network streamer, and DSS 2 network player. Let’s explore how these components redefine high-fidelity listening.

  • Timing Accurac: Proprietary clocking systems eliminate jitter, ensuring rhythmic integrity.
  • Resolution Beyond Limits: Support for DSD 512 and 32-bit/768kHz PCM for lifelike detail.
  • Timeless Build: Aerospace-grade aluminum chassis and vibration-resistant designs.
