FLEXIBLE CONVERSION
Multi-format DAC and FORMAT CONVERTER
Dare we call the DAC204 a Swiss army knife? It is certainly the most versatile digital-to-analogue converter in Weiss Engineering’s product offering.
Use the DAC204 for easy switching between multiple units with digital outputs — including a computer or mobile with USB out — and enjoy the pristine and low-jitter conversion to analogue audio from the unit’s outputs. The DAC204 can also convert DSD audio to PCM and offers a digital output in the AES/EBU format.

DAC204
The attributes of the Weiss DAC204 by far exceed what we can expect from its modest presentation. Its ability to translate zeros and ones into high-quality music with such pleasant and wide presentation makes it, for me, a reference equipment in this price range.

I think it is fair to say that this little box provided the best digital music I have heard in my system under eight thousand pounds to date. Despite its price it is hard for me to think of this as anything other than a bargain.

The sound stage is pretty wide and expansive; the lateral imaging and separation is very good and the depth and layering is also solid. This is probably the best DSD to PCM conversion I have heard.
