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.

I have the Reuss as well, it is an exceptional DAC. I have compared it to the DAC1 Mk1, in my system, and I do prefer the Reuss. I am also considering an upgrade to the MkII, interested if anyone has done this or has general comments on the MkII. 

Sounds like it was a close second in mitch2's https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/six-dac-comparison

I believe the Merason was edged out by the Mojo Mystique. An intriguing DAC as well, but other reviews are mixed. The Helene is a bit out of my price range, and it has tubes, meh.

Side tip: I recently popped a Singxer SU-6 between my Zenith and the Reuss, definitely a step up in definition.
