Our take on the Fosi Audio Merak CD Player

The Fosi Audio Merak is a compact CD player that also works as a DAC and a headphone amp, so one box can feed headphones, an amplifier or powered speakers. It reads CDs through a servo-controlled transport, rips discs to USB and plays files from a USB drive. A 60-second ESP buffer keeps playback steady when the unit is bumped. It suits desktop listeners and budget hi-fi setups that want disc playback without a stack of separate components; compared with bare CD transports it adds conversion and headphone output, though it is not a network streamer.
