Morning all, looking for comments on these DACs. They seem to be packed with features including dsp but are not talked about that much.
Has anyone tried it with and without preamp?
Like SteveS1 I have a DAC202 for 10 years now and it was a lot cheaper than the 50x is today.Has anyone tried it with and without preamp?
The last time I checked 6 years ago the full price was £1200 so maybe closer to £2k now. Thats a lot of moola just to add a USB input! O.K. it also then adds DSD as well if it was needed. I believe the cost is so high as its a board replacement rather than simply adding USB support.Daniel will add a USB input if required.

Thanks anyway. Now if someone could persuade me that this would actually improve the performance thats another matter............

Tried one here nothing wrong with it, Weiss equipment measures superbly, as has been stated just expensive when ( nearly) all of its features are available in much more economically priced equipment.

Hi Keith
Have you some brands / models in mind. I’m looking to upgrade my DAC but haven’t come across any that include the features that the Weiss 501/502 has apart from Linn streamers but they don’t have USB inputs.
