D/a omvandlare Meridian Explorer 2. Mycket bra dac. MQA. Nyskick. Skickas inte
At kr 750 SEK, this Meridian Explorer 2 is a clear bargain compared to the obvious alternative: most used DACs at this price are generic USB units with no brand pedigree or high-res DNA. The listing sits below the 25th percentile (kr 752 SEK) of our recent SEK comparable listings, where the median is kr 854 SEK and the 75th percentile reaches kr 985 SEK, making it a strong deal by any measure.
The Explorer 2 remains well-regarded for its crisp, high-resolution PCM playback up to 192 kHz and its compact, portable design that delivers high-end aspiration at a fair bit. It was originally priced around $199 (roughly kr 2,100 SEK at recent rates) and praised as a fantastic value for high-res audio. Even without MQA support out of the box, its clean sound and original-owner pedigree make this a compelling buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a trusted, well-loved DAC at a rare low price.
