Good sound
I'm using it with Hifiman's Edition X v2 (25ohms) and it drives them well. Haven't tried with high impedance phones. I was skeptical since it draws its power solely from usb but comparing it to my Mytek 192 is not that bad for less than 200 dollars.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Not what I hoped it would be
I bought this product on the strength of the Meridian name. I particularly bought it because it supports 24-bit up to 192 khz. It does not sound awful, but it lacks dynamic range and sparkle; it does not live up to the standards set by Meridian's predecessor products. The JDL Labs Odac kills it. To be perfectly frank, this purchase was a mistake. I am very disappointed. I do not regard it as an audiophile's choice. I cannot fault it on its build quality. It's reasonable. I've seen better; I've seen worse.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A high value for money but one paced dac
The depth of the dark silences is impressive. Powerful enough for most headphones it may disapoint those who value PRAT above all else and is too well mannered to really rock. Perfect for ultra relaxed listening. I'll be keeping mine!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great DAC for the price
I`m using Meridian Explorer 2 as a DAC for a headphone amp. It`s not a high-end DAC, but plays well above it`s price. Good opportunity to try Meridian house sound without breaking a bank.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

An excellent DAC with MQA support
This DAC is small, solidly made and provides great sound, for the price. The MQA support is a nice bonus if you're using Tidal, for example.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Explorer 2 Review
The Explorer 2 DAC is great. The MQA files from Tidal are fantastic as expected but the added bonus is the quality of non-MQA files. Great product at a great price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
