Rave Stereophile review of the DAC204 

The leading high-end audio publication Stereophile recently published its review of the Weiss DAC204. The article includes a short interview with Daniel Weiss, providing some background on the DAC204 and its features. 

The writer Robert Schryer writes: “Perhaps the most striking characteristic of the 204 was how it endowed instruments with physical presence, providing each with its own small, deep soundstage within the overarching one. I swore I could hear and see cymbals flash into view, their indented metallic frames wobbling in the air like saucers. Or that I could hear the drumsticks’ cylindrical shape as its shaft struck a rim. Technique, timbre, tones appeared on a tiny scale. That’s the drug, isn’t it? Discovering new things in our recordings? It’s musical space travel, and my system with the 204 was my USS Enterprise.” 

The article also has an appendix with detailed measurements performed by John Atkinson, who concludes that “The measured performance of the Weiss 204 is state of the digital art.”
