Micromega is a French electronics maker founded in 1987 by Daniel Schar in the Paris region. Its first product, the CDF1-Hitech, was a top-loading CD player under a clear plexiglass cover, and the 1988 CDF1-Digital split the player into a separate transport and DAC, a world first by the brand's account. Today the company builds integrated amplifiers and all-in-one streaming amplifiers, assembled by hand in south-west France.
Range & what it's known for
The best-known current model is the M-One, introduced in 2016 and designed by Schar, an all-in-one unit that combines a 100-watt class A/B stereo amplifier with a DAC, network streaming and an acoustic correction function. Earlier, the MyDAC and MyZic models brought the name to a much lower price point, and the 1994 Solo remains the reference design from the first decade. In 2026 the brand returned to its roots with the M-Amp Solo, an integrated amplifier priced at EUR 3,000 that again uses a see-through plexiglass lid. The current direction stresses repairability, long service life and easy access to internal parts rather than volume sales.
Who owns it and where it's made
Daniel Schar led the company from 1987 to 2006. After a bankruptcy it was rescued in 2007 by Didier Hamdi, a former motorcycle world champion, who owned it until 2021. Since then Micromega belongs to Timothee Cagniard and his company La Boite Concept. Production has moved to Hossegor in the Landes, at a site called La Manufacture du Son, where units are assembled manually.
The lineup in this catalog
The catalog lists amplifiers and streaming DACs. Compact converters start around EUR 1,000, and the larger all-in-one amplifiers cost more than EUR 5,000.
Who it's for
Micromega suits listeners looking for a single unit that handles streaming, conversion and amplification and who value a product built and serviceable in France. The M-One is the main entry for a complete streaming system, while the M-Amp Solo serves owners who already have a source and only need an amplifier.
