Apos x Geshelli Merlin AKM Desktop DAC

Merlin DAC

So far so good. Order was misplaced to start but customer service made it right and quickly resolved.

Apos x Geshelli Merlin AKM has Landed. . .

I was running the Gremlin Amp from the line outputs speaker B off the AudioFuse Rev. 2, the sound was excellent. I could have been satisfied right there but. . . started rolling tubes and haven't stopped. Finally the Merlin Geshelli arrived and switched over to the SPDIF Coax output from the AudioFuse. I finally ended up with the correct settings from the AIMP FLAC player [WASAPI Exclusive Event 48KHz 24bit] in the Windows 11 OS, and there it is. Clarity, Soundstage, and Bass Punch. The most notable improvement are the details in instruments, vocals and soundstage. So that's everything, isn't it? . Its hard to be critical when i am listening to fantastic recordings of music I really enjoy. I am using the AUNE SR7000 Closed Back headphones and this setup drives it easily.

Value for money

What can I say. Most of the time I listen to my Merlin/Gremlin combo instead of to my Hugo2/2Go combo. . . Did not expect that. Insane value for the money. . . . keep it up
