Metronome AQWO 2 DAC + SACD/CD Player + Streamer

Métronome True sound

Since 1987, Métronome has been leading the charge for high-resolution audio reproduction. Started by a group of true audiophiles in the countryside of Southern France, over the years they have handcrafted exceptional equipment that focuses on getting the very best from recorded audio, whatever its format.

Métronome has created a range of CD transports, DACs, integrated players and streamers – all built by hand – using carefully selected components to offer the very best audio reproduction to make the very most of your music collection. To experience music through Métronome equipment is to experience music in its purest form.

AQWO - The Digital Reference

The design of AQWO stands out with its unique,  solid, and imposing character, harmoniously aligned with Métronome's soul. 

The front panel is crafted from a 20 mm block of aluminium, cut from solid material, and features a generously sized touchscreen for enjoyable remote reading. 

Disc loading is accomplished from the top (top-loading) through a drawer equipped with an invisible mechanism, giving the entire unit a sleek aesthetic imbued with timeless classicism.

AQWO 2 - DAC + SACD/CD Player + Streamer

The pure essence of digital playback, at the pinnacle of excellence.

After the resounding success of its predecessor AQWO, Métronome took on the challenge in 2023, transforming the icon into a masterpiece.

Thus was born AQWO 2: an elevated design, reimagined electronics, and a fusion of new technologies, from a more imposing chassis to advanced processors and a refined display.

More than just a player, AQWO 2 is the pinnacle of universal digital performance, combining CD, SACD, network playback, and streaming into an immersive experience, a reflection of limitless ambition.
