Explorer2
Meridian’s Explorer2 is a portable, compact and rugged USB DAC designed to deliver best-in-class audio performance. Developed from the highly successful and acclaimed Explorer, Explorer2 features a significantly more powerful DSP capability than its predecessor. This allows the full range of Meridian enhancement technologies to be included, along with decoding and rendering for the MQA ‘Master Quality Authenticated’ process.
Meridian Resolution Enhancement
Explorer2 includes significantly more DSP power than its predecessor, allowing the full suite of Meridian audio enhancement technologies to be included, which was not previously possible. Thus the Explorer2 upsamples all input signal to 176.4/192kHz (4x standard sample rates) – 4x streams are played at full resolution with no downsampling. It includes Meridian’s proprietary Apodising upsampling filter, which minimises pre-ringing for a clearer, more transparent sound, while at the same time removing digital filter artefacts from earlier digital recordings, audibly improving overall smoothness of sound and stereo imaging.
The Explorer2 also features Meridian’s approach to noise-shaping. This moves noise out of the audio band, increasing the audible signal to noise ratio.
Superior clocking
Explorer2 features full audio performance at sample rates up to 192kHz, 24-bit resolution. It doesn’t downsample 176.4/192 kHz signals to lower levels, delivering instead the full bandwidth of the original. Explorer2 is completely asynchronous – it does not rely on the computer’s clock for timing. Instead, it uses precision on-board low-jitter crystal oscillators for the base sample rates. These were developed from those used in Meridian’s premium home entertainment systems.
These oscillators provide the master clocking for the entire playback system, and eliminate all USB interface jitter. ‘Isochronous’ transfer ensures maximum bandwidth and low latency. This is particularly significant, for example, when playing videos on the computer, for which audio and video must remain in sync. The DAC design also offers extremely low modulation noise and distortion for the ultimate in audio performance. The interface is USB Audio Class Compliant 2.0 HS, supporting data rates up to 480Mb/s.
Master Quality Authenticated (MQA)
Explorer2 includes a powerful decoder and audio renderer for Meridian’s exclusive ‘Master Quality Authenticated’ system. This ensures that MQA-encoded lossless audio files and streams sound exactly like the source. The 1x LED glows green to indicate that the unit is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file, and that the sound is identical to that of the source material. It glows blue to indicate that the Explorer2 is playing an MQA Studio file – one based on a new, exclusively sourced, artist/producer-approved studio master. In all cases you hear exactly the sound the production team intended.
