Main Features

Weiss JASON

ACCURATE AND ADJUSTABLE

The JASON goes beyond merely being a super-stable CD transport. It is actually able to up-sample the recorded audio for improved quality and providing your D/A converter with the optimum sampling frequency and wordlength.

It can even improve the sonic quality of D/A converters by providing a low-jitter data stream.

HIGH CONNECTIVITY

You will find a plethora of output connectors on the JASON’s back panel, ensuring that it can be used with whichever D/A converter you have available.

It also includes built-in and remote-controllable level control. This means that the JASON can be used as a super-transparent preamplifier when coupled with a fixed gain D/A converter + power amp configuration.

JASON + MEDUS

While the JASON can improve the quality of most D/A converters, we recommend pairing it with Weiss Engineering’s MEDUS D/A converterfor a truly state-of-the-art playback system.
