Metrum Ambre

The AMBRE is a ROON certified digital end point, but is also able to run other software. AMBRE has I2S, AES/EBU, SPDIF and Toslink outputs. The AMBRE Endpoint is a great addition to any audiophile setup because of its high quality clocking and power supply components. The hardware platform in AMBRE enables you to stream high res music files from network attached storage or use online streaming services through the powerful ROON platform, outputting bit perfect audio direct to your DAC.

At Metrum Acoustics we do not believe in taking prisoners, hence the choice to provide our clients with a platform with an open architecture. Using our AMBRE, a customer could swap the internal micro SD card, and open up a whole new world with content from different providers or services such as Audirvana, Volumio, PiCorePlayer, Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, moOde or even being discovered in a network using UPnP. Add web radio and play it throughout your house, office, wherever you wish to enjoy music. As for warranty we are OK with you choosing freedom, however as long as the changes apply to the software only.

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 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 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 most transparent 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!

All outputs of the AMBRE are galvanically isolated.
