The French classic with surprising warmth
The Micromega DUO.BS is a compact Bitstream DAC that punches well above its size, combining French minimalist design with carefully engineered internals. Compared to other DACs of its time, the DUO.BS stands out for its thoughtful layout, transformer isolation, and dual-board architecture separated by a dedicated metal shield.
Despite being a Bitstream design, the DUO.BS impresses with a smooth, natural sound that feels almost analog especially after a proper warm-up. It’s compact, understated, and quietly brilliant: an analogue and warm-sounding DAC that reveals more the longer you listen.
