Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii?


I was wondering if any Merason Dac1 owners have upgraded to the Mkii version? 
 

If so, I’d love to hear your impressions. How would you describe the audible differences? Would you recommend doing it? Was it an improvement or simply “different?”

I am considering this DAC as well, would be interesting to get some feedback.

@bluethinker I do not have one right now, a friend of mine has the Mk1. What I am reading about says it might be a fit for me. I like the terms 'musical' and 'relaxed', much as they are overused, they do connote a certain type of sound. Thanks for the comment.

@bluethinker thanks for the additional comments, your listening habits and preferences sound similar to mine. I am currently using a Schiit Gungnir Multibit which is certainly a decent unit, but I am looking for the next step up. 

I worked with Choice Audio to upgrade the Merason Dac1 from Mki to the new Mkii version.

Good move! I will look forward to your impressions once it has had some time to settle in to your system. I was not in the market yet, but ran into a deal on a Reuss a while back and couldn’t pass it up. It is an awesome DAC. I was able to compare it to a DAC1 in my system and felt the Reuss was more refined. I am guessing the Mk2 is a very significant upgrade.
