Meridian has outdone itself with the $299 Explorer USB DAC / headphone amplifier. Externally the Explorer exudes quality in both look and feel. Internally the design is excellent with a sophisticated six layer board, audiophile caps, and the XMOS USB chip. Functionally the Explorer does it all. A pocket-sized DAC capable of high resolution playback up through 24 bit / 192 kHz, user switchable firmware for customized feature sets, and great sound quality. Meridian has made its mark in this portable USB DAC market, and it more than holds its own against current rivals. We’d highly recommend giving the Explorer an audition – it’s absolutely worth it. Explorer is built into a lightweight aluminum alloy tubewith a hard-anodized finish. A plastic cap at one end incorporates a USB mini-B jack—chosen because a full-size B jack would subject the internals to excessive stress—while a similar cap at the other end holds two 3.5mm jacks: one for headphones, the other for line-level audio output. The latter is combined with an optical digital-audio output—rather like the headphone jack on the back of an Apple iMac—to address the TosLink input of any outboard D/A converter.

Der Meridian Explorer ist nicht geprüft aber habe ihn in den Laptop gesteckt und diekleinen leuchten sind angegangen. Verkaufe ihn als defekt da ich keine Ahnung davon habe. Mit dem kleinen Kabel hat sich nichts getan, habe ein anderes dabei gelegt damit geht es.Privatverkauf, keine Garantie und keine Rücknahme.

Experience the ultimate sound quality with the Meridian Explorer 2 USB DAC. This powerful digital-to-analog converter is designed to bring your music to life, with crystal-clear audio that will transport you to the heart of every song. Built with the latest technology, this DAC is perfect for audiophiles who demand the best. The Explorer 2 is one of the small number of devices currently available that natively supports MQA. This would have been an interesting facet of the spec – something for a sort of ‘Top Trumps’ competition with your mates – but for the recent announcement of the Tidal Masters. Attach a rival product and Tidal will unpack the MQA signal. Attach an Explorer 2 and the Meridian will perform the process – and perform a second ‘unwrap’ of the data in question. Get ready to enjoy your music like never before, with the Meridian Explorer 2 USB DAC. Whether you're listening to your favorite albums on vinyl or streaming from your computer, this DAC will take your music to the next level. With its sleek design, easy-to-use interface, and top-of-the-line components, it's the perfect addition to any home audio setup.

Hallo, hier biete ich meinen Meridian Explorer 2 USB-DAC Hi-Res an. Er leuchtet nicht mehr und wird daher als defekt verkauft.

Hallo, ich verkaufe hier einen hervorragenden USB-DAC von Meridian Audio. Der Explorer 2 wandelt bis zu 24 bit/192 khz. Er wird von Windows und MacOS erkannt, bietet sowohl einen Lineout, als auch einen Kopfhörerverstärker. Dieser hatte keine Schwierigkeiten meinen Sennheiser Kopfhörer mit 150 Ohm vernünftig anzutreiben. Darüberhinaus würde ich aber einen externen Kopfhörerverstärker empfehlen. Die Abtastraten werden über LED signalisiert. Das Gehäuse ist aus sehr hochwertigem Aluminium und das Gerät ist hervorragend verarbeitet. Der DAC stammt aus einem Nichtraucherhaushalt und ist in einem neuwertigen Zustand, da er immer pfleglich behandelt wurde. Er kommt in der OVP mit allem Zubehör. Garantie kann ich natürlich keine geben. Bei Fragen einfach melden.
