The Weiss DAC501 is a digital-to-analog converter and headphone amplifier, Roon Ready. It features analog and digital outputs (XLR and RCA). The DAC501 and DAC502 are our new D/A converters with a level of complexity and versatility. The DAC502 has a larger chassis but shares the same features as the DAC501, with the addition of 4 headphone jacks on the back of the unit.

The DAC50x introduces a new paradigm for D/A devices. It includes several interesting signal processing features and supports a variety of digital inputs. The outputs are analog, digital, and for headphones. Weiss Engineering has 30 years of history in designing D/A converters, and the DAC50x captures our experience.

Key features:

• Mechanical construction with stainless steel and a 10 mm aluminum front panel.
• Power supply process with a robust linear power supply and separate regulators for the left and right channels.
• Internal precise and low-distortion clock generator.
• Five digital inputs: AES/EBU or S/PDIF via XLR, Toslink, and RCA, UPnP / DLNA over Ethernet, USB.
• Supported formats: PCM 44.1kHz to 384 kHz, DSD 64x / 128x.
• Built-in digital signal processor (DSP) with algorithms for spatial balance, creative tuning, and other features.
