Merging+NADAC

MERGING+NADAC was born out of the repeated request from Merging’s mastering and recording engineer customers to provide a DAC for the audiophile market. This would be for their own customers, the music lovers, the high-resolution lovers, the purity lovers, a DAC able to reproduce the same experience, the same transparency they, as engineers, enjoyed in their studio when working on their Masters.

The universally acclaimed sound quality, transparency and precision of the Horus and Hapi professional converters was something these engineers were dying to offer to the people who were purchasing their music, their chef d’oeuvre.

We carefully listened and designed MERGING+NADAC based on the Horus and Hapi architecture and principle, but with a lot of improvements expected by the audiophile market, like channel summing, dedicated headphone DA, unique ergonomics and of course a superb aluminum chassis.

Not only did we deliver state of the art music listening in an audiophile environment, but also introduced some radical design enhancements to MERGING+NADAC, like tablet and smartphone remote control as well as some of the recipes which made Horus and Hapi such a great success and revolutionary in their own market. Most notably, the network audio communication through RAVENNA. You will find below some details about the benefits of this technology.

MERGING+NADAC has been immediately acclaimed and adopted worldwide.

Many ecstatic reviews have been published confirming that MERGING+NADAC is definitely something special. Refer to the News section to find a collection of rave reviews.

MERGING+PLAYER PL2 uses all the same audio components and offers the identical audio quality to the original MERGING+NADAC which has received rave notices from every reviewer. Both are specifically designed to be connected directly to your amplifier or active speakers. The astounding quality of the digital level control removes the need for a preamplifier if you don’t have to.

MERGING+PLAYER internal CPU runs RoonCore and is controlled by any Roon Remote on tablet, smartphone or computer.

MERGING+PLAYER easily connects to your home network to access your music library directly on any NAS or server. Additional or temporary music libraries stored on external drives or memory sticks can be connected on the back plate of MERGING+PLAYER on two dedicated USB ports.

MERGING+PLAYER requires to be connected on a Wifi router with access to the Internet, both to connect to your Roon Remote on tablet or smart phone and to the Roon Labs server for authentication, metadata access and additional services access such as Tidal or other services offered by Roon.

Critical acclaim suggests that MERGING+PLAYER and MERGING+NADAC sounds amazing so that would indicate that our designers selected a fine power supply. There is a body of opinion that maintains that removing all AC components from the chassis should improve the performance even more.

MERGING+POWER is designed for the ultimate no-compromise audio performance. Innovative features includes Hybrid design, optimized 2nd order low cut filter, 3kv isolation between power and control section, Copper foil inductor technology, Merging Capacitor Array combining Polymer+Aluminium+Polypropylene and highest FR-4 printed circuit board.

Golden ears have told us that our components sound incredible, but we wanted to see if we could improve even more. Removing AC power from the chassis and providing DC from an astonishing hybrid power plant using the highest quality components has achieved the seemingly impossible. If you care about the ultimate fidelity, this is the magic ingredient you must have.

When timing is everything, here's the MERGING+CLOCK L.

Clocking of digital audio signals is vitally important to achieve the best possible fidelity. Merging’s experience in dealing with the challenges of perfectly synchronizing digital devices is invaluable. The RAVENNA network technology makes it much easier to distribute super-accurate timing information to all connected devices, but why not go a stage further and make your Master Clock phenomenally accurate.

The MERGING+CLOCK is not only designed to synchronize your RAVENNA network, it is also provided with a direct high performance connection to your MERGING+NADAC offering also automatic sample rate switching, with two 10MHz synchronous outputs for other high-end components and with a set of four Word Clock output for our professional friends.
