A few days ago we were talking about reel-to-reel and how it might be the new vinyl. That’s a big contrast with the digital world in which we find ourselves today. Using digital sources has become more common. The use of a digital-to-analog converter (or simply DAC) in your setup can be called logical. But there are DACs and DACs. “Best of high end” likes to look at some of the best gear out there. Meridian announced their Meridian Ultra DAC. This new device will set the standard according to the UK based manufacturer. The Meridian Ultra DAC is built by hand in the UK and is available in beautiful high gloss black as standard. Other color options are also available using Meridian’s Select bespoke color service.
