The DAC204 MK2 is an accomplished digital-to-analogue converter from Weiss Engineering, a well-established Swiss manufacturer known for accomplished, professionally validated digital audio engineering, built with a substantial output level and near-immeasurable distortion. The DAC204 MK2 brings Weiss's considered engineering to standalone digital conversion.
Key specs that matter
DSD compatibility reaches DSD128, with PCM support up to 24-bit/384kHz. Frequency response extends down to 0Hz and up to an exceptionally wide 80,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output level is a substantial 7.5V balanced or 3.75V single-ended. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is under a near-immeasurable 0.00016% at 22kHz. At 165 x 105 x 95mm, the DAC204 MK2 maintains a manageable DAC chassis reflecting Weiss's considered Swiss engineering standards.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the near-immeasurable 0.00016% distortion figure combined with the substantial 7.5V balanced output level, consistent with Weiss's broader professionally validated engineering philosophy.
Pairing
Weiss's own amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue.
Alternatives
Other manufacturers' comparable professional-grade DACs offer alternatives for buyers wanting to compare format support and measured performance.
