## Metrum Acoustics Jade - Balanced Digital Pre-Amplifier
**Mid-Range NOS DAC Using 2 DACTWO Transient Chips per Channel with Special Volume Control. Upgrade Your Home Sound System.**
What more could we do after launching one of the best DACs and Digital Pre-Amplifiers available today? We are aware that our current flagship products [Pavane](/product/pavane), [Adagio](/product/adagio) and [Forte](/product/forte) are hard to beat but at least one idea was not realized yet. The idea of having similar high end sound like the [Adagio](/product/adagio) but in a more affordable version!
### The Adagio Legacy, More Accessible
The biggest difference between the [Adagio](/product/adagio) and Jade is the fact that the Jade uses two DAC modules per channel, whereas the [Adagio](/product/adagio) uses 4 modules per channel. Both [Adagio](/product/adagio) and Jade use Forward Correction Technology and are following the working principle of being a Balanced Digital Pre-Amplifier.
Our in-house designed and engineered forward corrected DAC chips will guarantee a unique listening experience! The result of this process is an extremely high linearity, right down to **-130 dB**, which gives the Jade a realistic 24 bit dynamic range. The Metrum Jade can also be (factory) fitted with [DAC3 modules](/product/dac3) for an even more stellar performance.
### Digital Pre-Amplifier Functionality
The Jade is a step forwards as it omits an analog pre-amplifier. It is musical, honors the Non-oversampling principle and simultaneously incorporates the technological progress that has been made over the years while developing our products.
### Complete with Remote
A solid aluminium IR remote control with 4 buttons completes the listening experience, giving you convenient volume control over your entire system.
