Stream bit perfect digital audio with the Metrum Acoustics
Ambre. ROON certified. Works with services like Qobuz or Volumio.

The AMBRE out of the box comes as a ROON certified digital
end point. however, because of its architecture it is also capable of running
different platforms such as DietPi and PiCorePlayer. This allows for even more
possibilities such as playing Qobuz or Logitech Media Server content, or even
being discovered in a network using UPnP.

At Metrum Acoustics we do not believe in taking prisoners,
hence the choice to provide our clients with an open platform. Using our AMBRE,
a client could swap the SD card installed, and open up a whole new world with content
from different providers, such as Qobuz. Adding web radio and play it
throughout your house, office, wherever you wish to enjoy music, installing
Logitech Media Server might be the solution. As for warranty we are OK with you
choosing freedom, however as long as the changes apply to the software. Once
the hardware is being manipulated, warranty is voided.

The AMBRE comes with I2S and other outputs like AES/EBU,
Spdif and Toslink. The AMBRE Endpoint is a great addition to any audiophile
setup because of its high-quality components The hardware platform in AMBRE
enables you to stream high res music files from network attached storage,
online streaming services through the powerful ROON platform, outputting bit
perfect audio direct to your DAC.
30 VA toroidal transformer, 110/115V AC 220/230V AC 60/50Hz

Dimensions 240 x 190 x 60 mm, Weight 2.5KG

LAN (local area network) input: Connect an UTP
cable with your local network. The Ambre is made from factory as a Roon end
point, contact customer service if you’d like another streaming service
installed by us.

Coaxial Output: A 75 Ohm coaxial cable should be
used to connect the Ambre to other digital audio equipment like a DAC for
instance. The coaxial output has a galvanic isolation and can handle a maximum
sample rate of 192 kHz.

AES/EBU digital output: When using the AES/EBU
digital output a 110 Ohms XLR cable should be used to connect the Ambre to
other digital audio equipment. The AES/EBU interface has a galvanic isolation
and can handle a maximum sampling rate of 192 kHz.

Optical output: A standard Toslink cable can be
used to connect the Ambre to other digital audio equipment. The max sampling
rate of the Toslink interface is limited to 96kHz.

I2S output: The I2S connection is the best way
to connect digital audio equipment over short distances without interference.
However still I2S is no international standard in terms of ruggedizing the
format or the connectors used. The I2S standard is optimized as an
interconnection between Metrum Acoustics products but will work in most cases
in conjunction with other gear. If your Metrum Acoustics DAC has the I2S option
installed you can use a simple UTP cable to connect both devices!
