Meridian has outdone itself with the $299 Explorer USB DAC / headphone amplifier. Externally the Explorer exudes quality in both look and feel. Internally the design is excellent with a sophisticated six layer board, audiophile caps, and the XMOS USB chip. Functionally the Explorer does it all. A pocket-sized DAC capable of high resolution playback up through 24 bit / 192 kHz, user switchable firmware for customized feature sets, and great sound quality. Meridian has made its mark in this portable USB DAC market, and it more than holds its own against current rivals. We’d highly recommend giving the Explorer an audition – it’s absolutely worth it. Explorer is built into a lightweight aluminum alloy tubewith a hard-anodized finish. A plastic cap at one end incorporates a USB mini-B jack—chosen because a full-size B jack would subject the internals to excessive stress—while a similar cap at the other end holds two 3.5mm jacks: one for headphones, the other for line-level audio output. The latter is combined with an optical digital-audio output—rather like the headphone jack on the back of an Apple iMac—to address the TosLink input of any outboard D/A converter.
