Has anyone compared the Merason Reuss and DAC 1 ?


I haven't been able to discover any comparative reviews online of these two units. 

Has anyone here tried both?

I have a Reuss and was able to compare it side by side with the DAC1 Mk1. I and the owner of the DAC1 both felt the Reuss had a bit more refinement. I have not heard the MkII yet, which is what you are probably asking about, but talking to a dealer it takes the detail up quite a bit. FWIW, I could easily live with the MkI, the difference was not huge between that and the Reuss.

The Audionet gear is all solid state. I would say it is fairly neutral. I saw a recent review that said the Reuss was a bit lean, I disagree with that. Merason is very musical, with a touch of warmth if anything. That is my opinion of course, my system, my ears.
