I am 110% completely satisfied with the sound of this DAC. I mainly bought this DAC to make room on my computer desk for possible future upgrades such as a small high end speaker set. I was prev using an old Audio Research DAC1-20 (which took up a significant portion of the desktop). This Meridian has a very small footprint and is the perfect desktop DAC. I have this hooked to my desktop PC. I wasn't excepting a sound upgrade over my old $3500 DAC (but the AR was from the 90s), but it was a sonic upgrade. As with most higher end audio equipment- give it at least a couple weeks or more to fully break in. It sounded pretty nice out of the box, but as it broke in, it opened up more and more and sounded even smoother. It images better-wider soundstage, has more detail, etc. I also did purchase the IFI USB power supply which is approx. $200 and combined with that power supply it sounds absolutely fantastic. I have this connected to a Musical Fidelity M1 HPA heaphone amp and I do have both Sennheiser HD 600 and Hifiman HE-500 headphones. I use all wireworld cables in my setup- wireworld starlight USB from PC to the IFI usb power supply, and another starlight from the IFI to the Meridian, and I have an old pair of Wireworld Polaris cables that I had stored away and I dug out and hooked between the DAC and headphone amp. I listen to many different types of music - Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Modest Mouse, Zeppelin, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jazz (sometimes), Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc. and this DAC does all equally well. If I listen to Frank Sinatra the orchestration sounds outstanding and you can pick out individual instruments. I hear things that I never heard before- even on some songs that I have listened to countless numbers of times- such as Led Zeppelin - No Quarter. I heard things in John Paul Jones' keyboard work that I was unable to pick out before, and you can pick out individual guitar tracks even more. You can pick out individual voices, etc. on many recordings where I could not pick out individual voices before. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Fine British sound with much elegance and finesse. *by G***U on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018* This is a fine sounding DAC and it represents how serious the British are when it comes to HiFi audio. The Meridian Director (Direct) DAC is smooth and elegant sounding. The bass is very well controlled and never overwhelming. The mid range is wide and reveals much of the inner details of the recording. My favorite part is the treble reproduction that this DAC is able to offer. Treble is super smooth and extended. But in all honestly, this DAC will not do miracle for a system. You need to have an adequate existing system in order to enjoy the difference that this DAC will make. This DAC will do lesser HiFi system no benefit and it will just be a waste. You don't need 5 figures sound system to hear the difference, but just make sure your source, amp, and speakers are up to par with this little guy. The packaging of the Meridian Director is very nice; something rare and other manufacturers should stop using those cheap brown cardboard packaging. The reason why I knocked one star off is because this DAC has a very low value proposition. Yes it is very good sounding, but not worth $699 asking price. But at its current "discontinued" pricing, it is a very good deal. I would pick this DAC up if you're into computer based audio (Tidal or higher resolution files playback). ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars I don't see any improvement to the overall sound quality ... *by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2016* I don't see any improvement to the overall sound quality of my system. I use it with a JVC AX-Z1010 integrated amp and Canton Ergo-620 speakers. Previously I used the Sony UDA-1 DAC. I have also used the K-2 DAC on the JVC. The meridian DAC doesn't seem to offer anything special. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/2007760-meridian-director-usb-dac-digital-to-analogue-converter](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/2007760-meridian-director-usb-dac-digital-to-analogue-converter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
