krazywaffle Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Further information: The Meridian Prime is a combined DAC and headphone amp. Reviews are glowing, especially for headphone enthusiasts given the proprietary Analogue Spatial Processing that it offers (see reviews and manual screenshot below): https://www.whathifi.com/au/meridian/prime-headphone-amplifier/review https://www.headfonia.com/meridian-prime-english-excellence/ https://www.stereophile.com/content/meridian-audio-prime-da-headphone-amplifier Prime comes with original box, OEM wall wart charger, high quality QED USB cable, and DIY 12V linear power supply (charger/maintainer and spades>speaker wire>25mm barrel plug interconnect). The DIY power supply permits the Prime to perform optimally in lieu of a Meridian Prime Power Supply, which, effectively, does the same thing by providing linear 12V 0.5mA power. Unfortunately the pictured 12V 5aH battery cannot be posted with unit; however, these are readily available for ≈$30. This is the only used Meridian Prime for sale in Australia and the cheapest one available worldwide! RRP before discontinuation in early 2021 was $1,800. Grab yourself a bargain! https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=Meridian+prime NOTE: If interested in the Meridian Prime Power Supply, please PM me as I have a located a used one in the UK that can be had for a reasonable price. This DAC sounds great, very detailed and smooth with classic "Meridian house sound"; however, I am not a headphone enthusiast and ultimately preferred the convenience of continuing to use my Meridian 568.2MM as primary DAC. Of note for headphone enthusiasts: this unit offer two proprietary Analogue Spatial Processing options (see screenshot from manual below), which many regard as a "game changer". Also, rear audio outputs can be disabled by depressing the power button for 5 seconds (LED goes green) and if USB cable is disconnected all digital processing (i.e., DAC) is also disabled (i.e., pure analogue headphone amplifier mode). Postage anywhere in AUS via Sendle is included in sale price.
