Once lockdown in UK eased, I'll be auditioning this dac on the 432 Evo Aeon server. I do like the tenor of reviews I'm reading, in a nutshell the Merason is highly resolving, but with a naturally warm rounded sound encouraging long, zero fatigue, listening sessions, one of the big advantages vinyl still has over digital.

My Eera Tentation fits into the resolving but languid category, so I'm already feeling positive about the forthcoming demo.

Any here have first hand experience of the Merason dac?

Thanks Mark unfortunately the Pilium is going back to the dealer, I’m really going to miss it think I’d best get saving up. It’s probably the single best bit of kit I’ve heard

Who is the Pilium dealer in UK? I know it's Rhapsody in US.
£38k for a dac is a little too spicy for me. I'm a huge fan of Eera, and their flagship dac is £15k, way more manageable (although probably 1/3 more now, because of Brexit).
Merason at £5k still looks good vfm, it seems there are now at least a half dozen dacs at that price that perform.
