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
This is the finest DAC at this price point that we have heard. It lacks some of the features of its big brothers, the 501 and 502, but it does not lack in its ability to offer up great sound. I give the DAC 204 a big thumbs up – I’ll give two because I’ve got two thumbs ¬– and recommend it for anyone searching for natural and realistic reproduction and accuracy from their DAC.

That wide, deep, and expansive sound stage gives so much air around instruments. For a digital device to bring all this, it’s not surprising that Weiss is still at the top of their game.

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.
