Excellent Condition
" There are lots of excellent sounding DACs in this price territory. With an MSRP of $6,000, it’s my opinion the Merason DAC-1 is a serious contender for best DAC at any price. Sonically, it competes toe to toe with the high priced big boys. 6K is not exactly loose change but I’d still be impressed even if the DAC-1 was substantially more expensive."
Mike Wright / StereoTimes
" The intoxicating immediacy of the Merason can be quite addictive, it does what few digital components do, strips away the polish and lets you hear the real meat of the music. Talk Talk’s Myrrhman has a mesmerizing intensity that’s created with immense restraint and poise, you can’t hear the days and nights of studio time it took to make but you do feel a nervous energy that few converters bring home. The muscularity and depth of the bass is pretty gorgeous too. Another such track is Gun by Scout Niblett, a track with so much palpable tension in it that it’s positively visceral when played on a converter that’s as revealing as this one."

"At 2 x 100 W, the APX 200 it capable of dynamically driving even the most insensitive speakers. The frequency response of the power amplifier is completely linear over the audio frequency range, at a nominal output power of 100 W, measured with a sine waveform. The low frequency roll-off frequency is 15 Hz, and the upper cutoff frequency is 100 kHz (-3 dB points). Most notably, the first 15W operate in Class A !"

"The Model 1s use Totem-modified 5" Dynaudio woofers and 1" SEAS aluminum tweeters. The woofer has a 3" voice coil, and the woofer and tweeter are connected to the crossover with shielded dielectric, and multi-strand oxygen-free copper wiring. The crossover uses larger and higher-grade oil-dielectric capacitors, and metallzed polypropylene capacitors"
The 5" Woofers were replaced in 2019 with original NOS stock drivers sourced directly from Totem.
