Merason DACs

I had heard of Merason DACs for a while. I decided to try the Merason Reuss. It's fed by my Innuos streamer (USB).

Wow, such an enjoyable DAC. Relaxing but without sacrificing all the audiophile attributes ;) Soundstage, Imaging etc..but more important a great tonality.

Was the Reuss released to replace the DAC1 mk1? 

Now I am wondering what the differences would be between Reuss and DAC1 mk2? Has anyone compared?

Hardly anything out there with regards to the company and lead designer. I would love to know more about Merason and their background.

@sim_audio_nerd - I have the Merason Dac1 MKii but have not heard the Reuss Dac. I am using it with a Gryphon 120 amp and Dynaudio Heritage speakers. It’s a marvelous sounding system. I have also used it with a Conrad Johnson Classic 120 amp with EL34 tubes and QLN Prestige 3 speakers which is very warm sounding system. The Merason Dac1 MKii is a very smooth Dac and makes for long listening sessions. It’s a keeper and I don’t see myself ever selling it. 

With the CJ amp and QLN speakers I am going to demo a SoulNote Dac which apparently has a more forward presentation. 

As with all things, I’ve come to realize it’s all about system matching.
