Anyone compared Merging+NADAC to other top dogs like Rockna, dcs, MSB etc.


Hello,

I am looking at a deal for Merging+NADAC, which is a brand with a very solid reputation in Pro/Mastering world. It also has lots of very solid reviews from various reviewers (most of which are 4-5+ years old). So has anyone compared NADAC to other latest top dogs from Rockna, dcs, Bricasti, EMM, Lampizator, Playback Designs or even MSB or Aries Cerat.

 

I know all these brands have vary different flavors of the sound but since NADAC retails at $10K+, I am interested in knowing comparison to these established big brands from Audiophile world & how it differs from them in terms of the presentation, Strengths & weakness of each over merging.

If anyone had NADAC/NADAC Player in the past & moved to other brand is even more welcome as he will have comparison done in his own home setup.

 

Regards,

Saurabh

I recommend an audition to anyone looking to spend north of $10K on a DAC. Reach out to Colin @gestalt for Merging in-home audition. IMHO, Merging truly excels in musicality, transparency and realism, especially if you own a high resolution system. And consider buying the +player, which eliminates the need for a external server or streamer instead of +NADAC.

PS: I used to own Rockna Signature Balanced and EMM Labs DA2.
