Features of the DAC 202:

  • 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 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.

REVIEWS

 

"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?"

"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."
