Métronome''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s new CD player-AQWO
The pronunciation of AQWO sounds very similar to the Latin root "aquo-" (meaning "water"). The biggest difference from the past equipment is the reading mechanism. Franz explained that in the past Métronome’s players all use the reading mechanism produced by Philips, but this time AQWO uses D&The reading mechanism produced by M can read CD and SACD. He also emphasized that Métronome''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s CD player has always enjoyed a high reputation in the audio industry, so it is natural to launch the new AQWO CD/SACD player this time. In addition, Métronome also takes into account the player''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s needs for digital stream playback and his needs, so AQWO is also equipped with 1 USB Type-B, 2 S/PDIF RCA, 2 Toslink and 1 AES/EBU XLR and other digital inputs The terminal can also be used as a USB DAC.
AQWO is also equipped with 3 independent toroidal transformers, which provide linear power supplies for digital, analog, and control circuits. More importantly, AQWO also has a very interesting feature, that is, users can purchase a vacuum tube module specially designed for AQWO to install on it. In this way, users can install suitable vacuum tubes according to their preferences and let the vacuum tube take care of it. The amplification work in the AQWO analog circuit makes the sound add the warm color of the vacuum tube.
"Métronome’s equipment is at a high price in the market, but "interestingly", if compared with other high-priced equipment of the same type in the market, Métronome can show the characteristics of excellent value for money. The price of equipment with the same performance as AQWO in the market is often twice that of AQWO. "Franz said something that sounds a bit contradictory, but he did point out Métronome''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s advantage in the market.
