{"product_id":"merason-pow1-linearnetzteil-schwarz","title":"Merason pow1 Linear Power Supply for frérot, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Merason pow1 is an external linear power supply developed specifically for the Merason frérot, and it noticeably lifts its sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt replaces the included plug-in adapter and gives the little converter exactly what it deliberately lacks: plenty of clean, quiet power. Swiss Made, and stackable with the frérot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the pow1?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree separate linear power supplies with a large, quiet transformer replace the simple plug-in adapter: two feed the audio section, the third the digital and logic section. The frérot is deliberately built to sound better with better power — that's exactly where the pow1 comes in. Reviewers such as Part-Time Audiophile honoured the frérot + pow1 duo with the \"Reviewer's Choice Award.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore calm in the background, out of which fine details only now properly emerge. Transients arrive crisper, decay becomes more natural, imaging more tangible. Sounds like voodoo, a power supply for over 800 francs? It isn't — the difference is clearly audible in a direct comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the pow1 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor any frérot owner who wants to extract that last bit of performance — and it's the most sensible upgrade before considering other components. Straight talk: the pow1 fits the frérot exclusively. The DAC 1 Mk II, DAC 2, and the Mountain line already have their power supplies built in — it's not meant for those. And if you're already eyeing the DAC 1 Mk II anyway, you can skip the detour via the pow1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pow1 isn't an accessory gimmick, but a genuine sound booster for the frérot. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we'll tell you honestly whether the upgrade is worthwhile in your case, or whether your budget would go further elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Linear power supply, specifically for the Merason frérot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 separate linear power supplies (2× audio section, 1× digital\/logic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransformer:\u003c\/strong\u003e generously sized, especially quiet, to Merason specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 22.5 × 5 × 18 cm (matches the frérot, stackable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 1.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swiss Made · 3-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merason pow1 linear power supply (Black), connecting cable to the frérot, power cable, instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the pow1 fit every Merason DAC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The pow1 is developed exclusively for the frérot.
