I am waiting for my Galle to deliver and am so looking forward to it. It will be fun to hear the Model II!
What is the retail selling price of the Merging Tech stack?
Check This Out!
Just wanted to make audiophile community aware, anyone looking for a DAC must check out Galle DAC from Cinnamon Audio. The feedback from two recent buyers was very inspiring and they bought the DAC after listening.
"The Galle DAC: we’ve crafted a DAC that delivers a natural, lush sound with remarkable dynamics and harmonic richness"
Cutting edge R2R, 27 bit ladder, laser cut the resistors to hit 0.1% tolerance; installed directly into the circuit board for a bargain price of $12,995
You can hear this DAC at Capitol Audio, courtesy @gestalt audio.
The retail on Merging stack was $45K. They are no longer available as Merging went back to its Pro Audio roots and the original NADAC and Clock pieces are now further enhanced and being available through new parent company called Master Fidelity. https://www.master-fidelity.com I own a Merging +player version that employs Ravenna protocol. This approach is particularly impressive as it ensures low-latency, high-bandwidth audio streaming, which is rare even among high-end consumer audio gear. Pairing that with support for DSD256 files and its onboard Roon endpoint/server makes it an elegant and straightforward solution for digital streaming. Merging +player perfectly aligns with my preferences and listening priorities. When everything in the system clicks, both technically and musically—it creates a connection to the music that’s hard to replicate. Finding that balance where speed, transparency and synergy come together is no small feat. |

@lalitk thank you for the information. Interesting on the new parent company Master Fidelity also. Great digital front end! |
