MERASON Frérot DAC

MERASON's entry-level DAC is an amazing feat of engineering. In a compact, powder-coated aluminum case, the MERASON Frérot packs a punch! Using an innovative 6-layer PCB, two for the power supply, two for interference immunity and two for signal routing, the analog signal is then finally delivered using a novel process so that the output capacitors in the signal path can be omitted. This is to avoid audible artifacts. The Frérot receives digital signals via USB, two S/PDIF RCA inouts and two optical Toslink connections. Inputs are selected via a an Elma rotary coding switch on the front. As with its big brother DAC-1, the digital signals go to a tried and tested Burr Brown 1794A converter. The DAC-1 works with two of these chips in mono mode. The little brother is content with a single 1794A in stereo mode. The MERASON Frérot only processes PCM data up to 24 bit / 192 kHz. The signal continues on the board of the D / A converter to the discrete analog class A output amplifier. The sign
