The DAC204 and the DAC205 are Weiss' newly introduced converters. Although sometimes referred to as their “plain vanilla” units they are still of very high quality with hands-on control, support for both PCM and DSD, plus an output sampling frequency of up to 192 kHz. The essence of these two DACs is a straightforward user experience, but there are some differences between the two, regarding connectivity.
The actual D/A converter part is the same in both products, with digital input via S/PDIF, but the DAC204 also incorporates a USB interface, making it ideal for both high end and pro audio users. The USB part is based on Weiss’ own-developed INT204 interface, which is also available separately for users wishing to bridge the gap between their computers and DACs.
The internal signal processing handles both DSD to PCM and PCM to PCM conversions plus also the output signal formatting to AES/EBU and S/PDIF. Accepted formats are PCM 44.1kHz up to 384 kHz, DSD 64x/128x. The DAC204 supports sampling frequencies of 44.1 to 192 kHz.
On the top of the back panel, on both the devices, are the analogue outputs, both RCA and XLR. Below them, there are two switches for analogue attenuation, giving you the option to accommodate for your amplifier in four steps: 0, 10, 20 and 30 dB. There are two different S/PDIF inputs, an RCA and a Toslink (optical).
The DAC204 and the DAC205 are both powered with an external power supply. Optionally there is also the Weiss low noise power supply available, the PSU102.
