TIDAL Audio Contros Digital Controller

The TIDAL Audio Contros Digital Controller is designed to be the perfect digital music content controller for TIDAL high-end systems. This is the first TIDAL masterpiece directly benefitting from the ultra-exclusive TIDAL for Bugatti project. The MC-1 controller design is the basis and, as a matter of fact, the Contros as basically a scaled down version of it.

The TIDAL Audio Contros Digital Controller combines core technology from the Camira, Arkas and Prisma within one cabinet. All it needs is power, ethernet, then connection to a power amp. As a result, it’s ready to perform at TIDAL reference level with the hassle of a lot of cables. As can be seen, this simplifies the listening experience without compromise.
