-
Digital
Outputs: AES/EBU on 1 XLR, 1 RCA, Firewire
-
Main Analog
Output: 2 stereo analog outputs, one on XLR one on RCA
-

check (allows to check the bit transparency of a playback
chain)
-
Setting of
the coarse output levels (analog domain), separate for the
main output and the headphone output
-
Dual / single
wire selection for 176.4 / 192 kHz sampling rate
-
"Insert Mode"
allows to loop in a external digital audio device (e.g. a
equalizer) via the AES/EBU I/O on the XLR connectors
-

Sampling rates:
44.1 up to 192 khz / 24 Bits
The DAC 202 also
has a new D/A converter and new analog output stages
compared to
former D/A Converter models. The D/A converter uses two
converters per channel to gain in signal to noise ratio.

"The combination of a good Windows
7 or Mac server and the Weiss Engineering DAC202 is enough to
transport anyone into the world of high end computer audio."
"The DAC202 not only
offers all the features required for the foreseeable future
it’s the sound quality valedictorian of its class and the
latest entrant to the
C.A.S.H. List. Now that we’ve answered the “are we there
yet" question it’s time to ask, What are you waiting for?"
Chris Connaker, Founder

"This means that the
DAC202, and perhaps a few other DACs, embodies the current
state of the art of digital audio. Its features, such as its
bit-transparency check and selectable digital filters, along
with a host of input options, also make it one of the most
flexible DACs on the market today. Its sound with CD is equal
to that of the best DACs I’ve heard, some of which cost much
more, and its performance with high-resolution audio up to
24/192 is the best I’ve ever heard. If you can cough up $6670
for a DAC, and if you want to explore the outer reaches of
sound quality with a hi-rez computer-based source, then the
Weiss DAC202 should be at the top of your must-audition list."
