MERGING+PLAYER restores the concept of the audiophile music server and makes your life simple again. The combination of the best music player available and the best sounding DAC allows you to access your music library from a tablet and connect directly to your amplifier or listen on headphones with the purest sound ever. It doesn’t get any simpler!
MERGING+NADAC, as a concept, challenged the convention of USB connection. RAVENNA is a far more efficient and qualitative connection standard and brings the flexibility of the network to your home audiophile installation. In the same vein and as a logical next step, MERGING+PLAYER challenges the convention of having a computer in your living room! The computer contributes nothing to the listening or the ergonomic experience of enjoying your music library, but hitherto, it has been the only way to run your favourite player software linking your high-resolution music files to your favourite DAC.
MERGING+PLAYER delivers a genuinely audiophile crafted turnkey solution while still enjoying the flexibility of regular updates, new features and new services offered by today’s software applications. Remember what mobile phones were before becoming smartphones!
Merging is the expert in DSD, multichannel and mastering grade sound purity. The 27 Grammy® Award nominations for 2017 once again demonstrate the domination of Merging equipment in all categories. Roon offers unrivalled usability with regular enhancements; Roon’s latest 1.3 version being the perfect example of how a simple update can revolutionize the pleasure of listening to your favourite music.
MERGING+PLAYER uses all the same audio components and offers the identical audio quality to the original MERGING+NADAC which has received rave notices from every reviewer. Both are specifically designed to be connected directly to your amplifier or active speakers. The astounding quality of the digital level control removes the need for a preamplifier if you don’t have to.
As the original MERGING+NADAC, MERGING+PLAYER still enables connection to any player, server or computer on the network and its AES, Optical and Coaxial SPDIF inputs allow other digital equipment to be connected. These are identical features to the original MERGING+NADAC but without the need to have an additional computer to access your music files. Simplicity itself!
As the original MERGING+NADAC, MERGING+PLAYER comes in two flavours, Stereo and Multichannel, now fully supported by Roon 1.3 !
