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.

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.
