Main Features

Weiss DAC202

multiple input options

Connect the DAC202 to any Firewire-equipped computer, or add the optional USB or Thunderbolt connectors. Enjoy stellar digital-to-audio conversion straight from your computer, from a small-format unit.

The DAC202 is also equipped with S/PDIF and AES/EBU inputs, so it can just as easily be used with CD players or any other units with digital audio outputs.

With speakers or headphones

In addition to the DAC202’s power amp outputs, it also has a built-in, high-quality headphone amplifier.

Control the output levels of the DAC202 with perfect precision in the digital domain. The headphone and power amp outputs have separate level controls.

Conversion and synchronization

A modern, state-of-the-art D/A converter chip is employed. Two converters per audio channel are used to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio.

An internal high precision/low jitter clock generator is responsible for clocking the audio section. The sampling frequency is switched automatically according to the sampling frequency of the track played. In addition, there are word-clock inputs and outputs on BNC connectors for external synchronization purposes. All standard sampling frequencies up to 192 kHz are supported.
