Offered for sale is the Swiss-made Merason DAC1 with Black Plexiglass Face and Brushed Stainless Steel Chassis. This highly-regarded DAC is a recent customer trade-in. It has some light marks on the plexiglass face and stainless steel chassis commensurate with normal use and cleaning. The device is in top working condition. The DAC comes with Original Packaging, Owner's Manual, and Power Cord. It will be double-boxed and shipped via insured FedEx ground to ensure it and it's packaging arrive safely to it's new owner. Digital-to-analog conversion: The task of digital-to-analog conversion is performed by two 1794A converter modules from Burr Brown. For a 5 dB improvement in dynamic range, each channel has its own device. The analog current signal is elaborately converted into a voltage signal in a discrete setup, which is buffered in Class A technology and routed to the output. The DAC1 is fully balanced, i.e. a total of four independent channels are implemented from the two converter modules to the output. Power supply: Each functional unit has its own power supply, and in total there are twelve of them. Two output channels each are supplied by a separate linear supply with an oversized transformer. Structure: The sound influence of components and circuit variants as well as various layouts were thoroughly tested in countless sessions by experienced listeners. This applies in particular to capacitors, voltage regulators, converter components, transistors, resistors, signal processing, I/V converters and output stages. Made in Switzerland: The manufacture of the housing, the front panel and the control knobs and the printing, component placement, assembly, commissioning and inspection are carried out exclusively in Switzerland. Output: max. 3 V RMS (balanced), max. 1.5 V RMS (unbalanced) Ambient temperature 10°C to 30°C, 50°F to 86°F 44.1 kHz@16 bit, 44.1 kHz@24 bit Width: 45 cm, 17.7 In None other than Dave McNair, mastering engineer with several Grammy awards, has tested the Merason DAC1 and says: “[…] it is my opinion the Merason DAC1 is a serious contender for best DAC at any price.” Martin Mertens from Fairaudio is also impressed by the Merason DAC1. Read for yourself how he was immediately captivated by it. In December 2019, the Merason DAC1 almost left Jürgen Schröder, reviewer with LowBeats, speechless. Since then, the Merason DAC1 has been the reference at LowBeats. In May 2019, Wolfgang Kemper from HIFISTATEMENT extensively listened to the Merason DAC1 and reported on it. The Merason DAC1 converter, at that time still under the name Purson, was tested in November 2018 by HiFi-IFAs member Falk Visarius on the HiFi-IFAs blog
