Weiss DAC 202 Firewire D/A Converter

DAC 202

Firewire D/A Converter

 

The DAC202 is a reference class Firewire D/A Converter with a IR remote control for volume control, absolute phase and input source selection.

 

Features of the DAC202:

  • Digital Inputs: AES/EBU or S/PDIF on 1 XLR, 1 RCA, 1 Toslink, Firewire

  • Digital Outputs: AES/EBU on 1 XLR, 1 RCA, Firewire

  • Main Analog Output: 2 stereo analog outputs, one on XLR one on RCA

  • Headphone output on 1/4" Jack

  • Level control main output: 4 coarse settings via relays (analog domain), fine setting via rotary encoder (digital domain). Level control can be defeated for the main output.

  • Level control headphone output:  4 coarse settings via relays (analog domain, independent from the settings in the main output), fine setting via rotary encoder (digital domain).

  • Wordsync input on BNC connector

  • Wordsync output on BNC connector

Frontpanel controls:

  • LCD display for display of sampling rate, input source, audio level, absolute phase, upsampling filter type, various menu items

  • Rotary encoder with push switch

  • IR receiver

  • Standby LED

  • Headphone Jack socket

Special features:

  • Transparency 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 rate setting on the WSYNC I/O connectors in dual wire mode

  • Display brightness

IR Remote control switches:

  • power on/off

  • volume up

  • volume down

  • input sources (4 switches for Firewire, XLR, RCA. Toslink)

  • DAC upsampling filter type

  • mute

  • absolute phase

Sampling rates: 44.1 up to 192 khz / 24 Bits

 

The DAC202 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.

REVIEWS

 

"Back to the hovering question. Are we there yet? 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’s support of all reasonable sample rates via a ubiquitous and low jitter asynchronous FireWire interface, impeccably implemented coarse analog / fine digital volume control, built-in transparency checking, sample rate display, and sound quality to plan this year’s bonus around make it the vehicle that gets anyone “There" and well beyond the capabilities of traditional transports. 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?"
