Meier Audio Corda

When Meier-Audio was started in the year 2000 the number of headphone amplifiers on the market was very limited and most models came at a premium price. In contrast the amps we produced were designed to provide a maximum of sound quality for as little as money as possible. The enclosures were sturdy without unnecessary gimmicks but inside only premium components were used. This philosophy is still found in our current models PCSTEP, QUICKSTEP, ROCK, JAZZ and DACCORD.

Since those early days the headphone market has grown considerably and many other manufacturers have joined. Especially Asian companies now offer amplifiers at a price level that makes it very hard for an European manufacturer to compete. Therefore recently we have lowered prices of our products considerably.

Also our company-philosophy has changed. In the future we will no longer develop low-budget gear. Any new product will aim to deliver the best possible sound, without major limitations by costs. The SOUL is a first example. This amp/DAC not only delivers premium sound but, thanks to a built-in DSP, also offers features not found on any competitive product.

CORDA amplifiers and DACs have a detailed, clean sound and high driving capacities. They do not aim for a WOW-effect but try to bring sound with natural fluency and inner logic. Some also have a proprietary crossfeed filter that makes headphone listening more relaxed and natural. If this is the kind of sound you’re looking for, then you should definitely study our offers.
