    Fosi Audio Merak

    What can I say....CD Players, record players, all coming back in vogue. The Merak by Fosi Audio is built like a brick house. The sound quality of the play when using you desired method, speakers or headphones, will not leave you wanting. The main gripe I have about the device is that the main outlets for the data to come out is either 3.5mm or Toslink. I have done all three methods of usage and have had no issues with any skipping or bad sound. There is a switch on the back that you can toggle to turn on ESP if you are going to play it on some speakers like I have. One more thing I have an issue with is for a company that is wanting to really break it into the Hi-Fi market, they should have included a 4.4 balanced headphone jack as well on the front. One little detail I like on the device is the usage of an actual slider on the side for volume control. Just something that (to me) makes me want to use it as a fidget thing, but it must stay still. The usb port on the back is for ripping the cd straight to a thumb drive to those of us who want to keep a backup. I want to disclose that I did receive this product to review and be reimbursed.

    Bring those old CD's back to life!

    I bought this because I have a lot of old CD's on a shelf that I haven't listened to in 20 years. I am so glad that I did! I hooked this up to my stereo and used a DAC that I bought from Fosi Audio to convert it to an analogue signal. I tried it with and without the DAC. It sounds really good either way, but I do prefer the analogue sound. I am really impressed with the build quality for the price and love being able to listen to my old albums again. It brought back so many memories! I like that it can also play CDR and CDRW discs that I made back in high school. Many of which were not labeled well and I'd forgotten what was on them! The controls are intuitive and the LCD display is really nice.

    CD Experience With Modern Convenience

    I picked up the Fosi Audio Merak CD Player because I still have a big collection of CDs and wanted an easy way to enjoy them again. There is something nostalgic about putting a disc in and hearing music the way I remember it, and the Merak brings that feeling back in a simple, clean way. The player feels solid and looks good on a desk or shelf. It loads discs quickly and the controls are straightforward. The sound is smooth and clear and gives older albums a fresh sense of detail without changing the character of the music. It has been fun going through my old favorites and hearing them with better clarity. One feature I really appreciate is the CD ripping option. Plug a USB flash drive into the USB A port and it saves the tracks directly to the drive. It is simple and it works without any extra software or setup. It makes it easy to back up my collection or take the music with me. If you enjoy physical media or want a CD player that brings back that old school feeling while adding a useful modern feature, the Merak is a great pick.

    Really good CD player / transport

    I use this player plugged into my Eversolo Play via optical. It sounds really good. I love seeing the disc spin as well. Highly recommended!

Questions & Answers
  • Can this run on batteries, or does it need to be plugged into a power source to work?

    Use the power supply provided with the unit by Fosi. Solid power is key for good performance and audio fidelity.

  • Does it display the track/song name?

    It does not. It displays the track number so you would have to match it up with the tracklist on your cd.

  • Hi I just received my cd player and liking it. Can I use a USB power adapter on the included USB cable to power the player? Can the trigger 12v output used for powering the player if so where can I purchase one

    A USB-A to USB-C cable is included in the box, but the AC wall adapter is not included. You can simply connect the included cable to a standard USB power adapter that provides 5V/2A (10W). The 12V output trigger cannot power the Merak.
