DST
Métronome Technologie is a small French manufacturer based in Montans that designs and builds its CD transports in-house rather than through mass-market contract production; the DST is the latest slot-in CD transport in its "Digital Sharing" range, built to partner with the brand's DSC mini and DSS 2 components (Métronome). It has been reviewed by enthusiast and trade outlets including 6moons and EnjoyTheMusic, and the brand maintains a limited dealer network typical of a boutique high-end operation (EnjoyTheMusic).
