| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k I agree with previous posts it largely depends on the rest of the system. I was very happy with my MSB Discrete. I have changed preamp and it became too bright and fatiguing. I prefer the Merason DAC1 mk1. Thinks may change when my new amp arrive... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @facten yes that’s what I intend to do. Maybe it’s an mk1 and they were already releasing new chassis. | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? I have added a passive preamp to the chain and it was a metamorphosis. I like very much the DAC1 now. And the MSB discrete sounds over detailed and too brilliant, fatiguing to me. The magic of changing pieces in the chain. I just wonder if I actu... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? I have bought a DAC1 demo from a retailer in Paris. They say it’s a mk1. I think it’s a mk2 since it has the aluminum chassis in brushed grey. the sound is as widely described by user and reviewers. I had read the DAC1 was superior to the MSB di... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @bluethinker thanks a lot! are you familiar with the Aqua La Scala? It seems is appreciated for being relaxed and musical too. It has the advantage of having tubes. I don't like the aesthetics of it so I'm naturally for the Merason if the SQ is no... | |

| Update on good Ethernet switch I read everywhere the LHY SWs are at the same level if not superior to pricier switches. Is this valid when comparing other switches without an external LPS? I’m deciding between the SW6 and the Sotm SNH10G with a Jcat OPTIMO 3 duo LPS. Any advic... | |
| SoTM switch Vs LHY SW8 Any advice between the 2? | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @pdreher I understand your POV. Do you have a network switch too? | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @tonywinga I’m a bad musician and waste too much money in my guitars and audiophile stuff but… hey, we live once. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @pdreher how about a streamer in between the NUC and the MSB DAC? I don’t have files. Only Qobuz from Roon. | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice No love for Antipodes here? | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference Accidentally fell on this thread. I have a fanless NUC i7 8th gen with an MSB Discrete DAC with renderer module and wondering if getting an Antipodes K22. Now I have doubts…. |
