Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii?


I was wondering if any Merason Dac1 owners have upgraded to the Mkii version? 
 

If so, I’d love to hear your impressions. How would you describe the audible differences? Would you recommend doing it? Was it an improvement or simply “different?”

@choiceaudio - thank you for that! 

Two questions for you: 

1. How would you compare the Merason Dac1 mkii to the Mola Mola Dac? What are their respective strengths head to head? 
 

2. Can we upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii through you if our Dac1 mkii was purchased somewhere else? 
 

Thanks in advance! 
 

Hi Bluethinker,

I just replied to you in a private message. 

Thanks!

@choiceaudio - Thanks for providing the information. Will reach out to you when I have the discretionary funds for the upgrade! 

Today is still possible to find Merason DAC1 mk1 brand new. Is it a worth purchase? I ponder between the DAC1 and the Aqua La Scala. How much would it cost upgrading the DAC1 to mk2 specs? Thanks a lot.

@ricco275 - I have the Merason Dac1 Mki. It’s a fantastic Dac, to be sure. I recommend it. I think the reviews are pretty spot on. 
 

@choiceaudio - You have the experience with both dacs in question. How would you compare the two?
