Dac 202
The DAC202 is the latest Weiss 24bit/192kHz firewire digital to analogue converter. It has a completely newly designed D/A converter and new analog output stages compared to the Minerva. The D/A converter uses two converters per channel to gain in signal to noise ratio. Firewire connection provides internal master clock mode while playback audio files from computer. The ideal dejittering circuit regardless of AES, SPDIF, Toslink or Firewire input.
Digital Inputs:
AES/EBU or S/PDIF on 1 XLR, 1 RCA, 1 Toslink, Firewire
Digital Outputs:
AES/EBU on 1 XLR, 1 RCA, Firewire
Analog Output:
2 stereo analog outputs, one on XLR one on RCA,
Headphone output on 1/4#8221; Jack
Level control main output:
4 coarse settings via relays (analog domain), fine setting via rotary encoder (digital domain).
Level control can be defeated for the main output.
Level control headphone output:
4 coarse settings via relays (analog domain, independent from the settings in the main output), fine setting via rotary encoder (digital domain).
Sampling rates: 44.1 up to 192 khz / 24 Bits
Wordsync input / output on BNC
Frontpanel controls:
LCD display for display of sampling rate, input source, audio level, abso-
lute phase, upsampling filter type, various menu items
Rotary encoder with push switch
IR receiver
Standby LED
Headphone Jack socket
Special features hidden in sub-menues:
Transparency check (allows to check the bit transparency of a playback chain)
Setting of the coarse output levels (analog domain)
Dual / single wire selection for 176.4 / 192 kHz sampling rate
Display brightness
IR Remote control switches:
