Merging Technologies +NADAC and +POWER

The World Class +NADAC (NETWORK ATTACHED DIGITAL TO ANALOGUE CONVERTER) and +POWER is up for sale.  The images you see are stock photos.  Please feel free to reach out if you need more info. 

Both units are 7 years young and are in great physical shape and functioning as new.  They were our demo units at The Audio Association. 

These were the premier digital components for Merging Technologies.  +NADAC and the separate power supply the +POWER.  You need the +POWER with the +NADAC.  This is not the one-box +NADAC with the built-in power supply.

+NADAC Information

MERGING+NADAC was born out of the repeated request from Merging’s mastering and recording engineer customers to provide a DAC for the audiophile market. This would be for their own customers, the music lovers, the high-resolution lovers, the purity lovers, a DAC able to reproduce the same experience, the same transparency they, as engineers, enjoyed in their studio when working on their Masters.

The universally acclaimed sound quality, transparency and precision of the Horus and Hapi professional converters was something these engineers were dying to offer to the people who were purchasing their music, their chef d’oeuvre.

We carefully listened and designed MERGING+NADAC based on the Horus and Hapi architecture and principle, but with a lot of improvements expected by the audiophile market, like channel summing, dedicated headphone DA, unique ergonomics and of course a superb aluminum chassis.

Not only did we deliver state of the art music listening in an audiophile environment, but also introduced some radical design enhancements to MERGING+NADAC, like tablet and smartphone remote control as well as some of the recipes which made Horus and Hapi such a great success and revolutionary in their own market. Most notably, the network audio communication through RAVENNA. You will find below some details about the benefits of this technology.

Critical acclaim suggests that MERGING+PLAYER and MERGING+NADAC sounds amazing so that would indicate that our designers selected a fine power supply. There is a body of opinion that maintains that removing all AC components from the chassis should improve the performance even more.

MERGING+POWER is the answer.

MERGING+POWER FEATURES

MERGING+POWER is designed for the ultimate no-compromise audio performance. It boasts some very innovative features:

•  Hybrid design - Switch Mode mixed with Toroidal transformer
  •  The Switch Mode powers the high current applications such as the main DSP/FPGA as well as the Media Player.
  •  The Analog section powers the analog stage plus the noise sensitive digital areas.


•  +13 volt DC main power switch which can handle 7.5 amps continuous current and has an optimized 2nd order low cut filter to attenuate high frequency noise while preserving optimum transient performance.


•  +16 V/-16 V/+6V main Analog power supplies can handle 1 Amp continuous currents. The optimized 2nd order low cut filter feeds the Linear Technology LDOs (Low Dropout Regulator). This design of LDO has better performance and protection characteristics than most discrete designs.


•  Instrument grade Real-Time power monitor keeps everything smooth with more than 3kV of isolation between the power and control sections.


•  Copper Foil Inductor technology for ultimate sonic performance.


•  Merging Capacitor Array (MCA) technology mixes three types of capacitor - Polymer + Aluminum + Polypropylene. The latter is designed to aerospace and military specifications.


•  Highest Specification FR-4 printed circuit board designed to deliver military grade performance in a severe environment.
