Merason Reuss DAC: no frills, great sound

[@Ricardo-mp8kc]

Love this brand. Had the Frerot with POW1 a couple of weeks, was so convinced sold it and bought the DAC1 mkII, that’s a keeper 😁

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Zoomerland]

good trend for high end dacs just to be dacs. I don't need a server, OS, preamp, blah blah blah built in. I like my dac to be just a dac. Thanks for the review Hands.

Ga ik zeker eens een keer naar luisteren. Heb ook nooit eerder van het merk gehoord. Interessant en bedankt voor de video weer.

Love your work Hans. One of the truly honest reviewers out there. I'm still enjoying my Ferot Dac immensely which i picked up second hand because the owner upgraded to the Reuss. What was the DNLA app you use? I don't particularly like the Lumin app.

I find the "barebone" approach interesting. However, I am surprised to see no I2S input. Just makes it slightly less appealing as an option for setups that are already invested in that direction (i.e. cables)

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

If the digital source and DAC well designed, there is no difference between I²S and AES/EBU

[@TheAlphaAudio]

​@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannelTrue. The only difference is what clock is master. If both clocks are stable you should be fine.

How is it compared to Laiv Harmony?

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

The answer is in the reviews!

[@vekanoid]

Similar idea like Cyan 2, also barebone DAC.

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

Right. But of (even) higher sound quality.

[@jakobgooijer]

Nice review again !. I thought it was pronounced Re-uss ( ree-oes). ?

[@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel]

You might be right

River through Burgdorf, where the factory is located

[@gioponti6359]

@@mediascapes2011hence german pronunciation, hence as Hans has pronounced it.
