The RAM is 4 GB, the interfaces include a USB port for an external drive, as well as Ethernet and Wi-Fi (UPnP), Chromecast. The device supports PCM and DSD streams and has built-in clients for Qobuz, Tidal, HRA, Presto Music. The cherry on the cake is SoX upsampling, R8brain up to DSD1024, and a 10-band parametric equalizer.

The recommended retail price of the Métronome DSAS audio server in Europe is 5,990 euros. The price includes a three-year subscription to the Audirvāna Studio software package and a permanent Audirvāna Origin license for working with a local library.
