The Mountain is a digital-to-analogue converter from Merason, a Swiss manufacturer known for considered high-end digital conversion engineering, built with substantial output level. The Mountain brings Merason's meticulous engineering to standalone digital conversion.
Key specs that matter
DSD compatibility reaches DSD128, with PCM support up to 192kHz/24-bit. Output level reaches a substantial 3.4V balanced or 1.7V single-ended - strong figures providing considerable headroom. At 140 x 390 x 450mm and 18kg, the Mountain represents a substantial digital source commitment reflecting Merason's uncompromising Swiss build standards.
Sound and use context
Expect clean, detailed conversion reflecting Merason's broader considered engineering approach, combined with the substantial 3.4V balanced output providing genuine headroom well beyond most conventional DACs.
Pairing
The substantial 3.4V balanced output gives genuine signal strength for driving a downstream amplifier directly.
Alternatives
Merason's broader digital source catalogue offers alternatives for buyers wanting a different balance of features.
