Master Fidelity is a Canadian digital audio maker in Vancouver, trading as Merging Fidelity Inc. and set up in 2015. Its team co-developed the original NADAC converter sold from 2015 by Merging Technologies of Switzerland. When Sennheiser bought Merging in 2022 and dropped the consumer line, the Vancouver company took over the NADAC name and designed a new range.
Range & what it's known for
The range has four units, the NADAC D converter, NADAC C master clock, NADAC L line preamplifier and NADAC S music server. The NADAC D is built around a custom one-bit ASIC and accepts PCM from 44.1 to 384 kHz and native DSD up to DSD512 over USB, with balanced and single-ended outputs plus two headphone jacks. The NADAC L uses a custom switching chip with precision resistors for an all-analog volume control.
Who owns it and where it's made
The company is independent of Merging and Sennheiser. Design lead Weishen Xu, a former recording engineer, heads development of the converters and clocks at the Vancouver facility.

Who it's for
