Resuscitated? – That the demise of the CD was a premature announcement everyone knows by now. Métronome of France just removed another nail from that coffin with the DST, a CD transport in their Digital Sharing range. Unusually, it embeds an upsampler so can output oversampled 44.1kHz Redbook as 32/384 data and DSD as 256 over I²S. There's also AES/EBU and coaxial S/PDIF. The 3.9" display of 480x128px resolution is a touch screen but an IR remote is included as well. Finish options are silver or black. A USB port allows on-the-fly firmware updates. Dimensions are a compact 25cm squared footprint of 7cm height. Weight is 4.7kg.
