Weiss

After studying electrical engineering Daniel Weiss joined the Willi Studer (Studer – Revox) company in Switzerland. At Studer he worked in the digital audio lab for five years. His work included the design of a sampling frequency converter and the digital signal processing electronics for digital audio recorders.

In 1985 Mr. Weiss founded the company Weiss Engineering. From the very beginning the company concentrated on the design and manufacture of digital audio equipment for mastering studios. The modular “102 Series” system was the first product. Even today this system is still up to date (24 bit / 96kHz) and is still sold. Hundreds of Mastering Studios around the world use it every day. There is no reason why a computer, combined with a proper D/A Converter can’t be a decent playback system.

Early in the nineties the “Gambit Series” was launched. It consists of stand-alone units like Equalizer, Dynamics Processor, A/D converter, D/A converter, Sampling Frequency Converter, Dithering etc.

The wealth of experience we gained during all those years of working together with the “Golden Ears” Mastering Engineers, we now apply to the design of outstanding Hi-Fi products. Our philosophy is to create long lasting, high quality products. High quality in each and every facet, be it sonics, ergonomics, economics and ecologics, or cosmetics.

Digital Audio Products

	Jason CD Transport The Jason CD Transport is an addition to our already famous Medea D/A Converter. The design and electronics are of the same high quality in both units. We included many features in the Jason which make it the CD Transport of choice not only in conjunction with the Medea but for all kinds of D/A Converters or digital amplifiers	Details
	Medea+ D/A Converter The Medea is a stereo 24 bit / 192kHz Digital to Analog converter designed with the aim of keeping an absolutely uncompromised audio signal path. Much detail and thought was spent on the digital input as well as the analog output stage. Both have in common the purest possible approach in audio design, aspiring for nothing less than excellence.	Details
	DAC 202 D/A Converter The DAC202 is a reference class Firewire D/A Converter with a IR remote control for volume control, absolute phase and input source selection. The DAC202 also has a new D/A converter and new analog output stages compared to former D/A Converter models. The D/A converter uses two converters per channel to gain in signal to noise ratio.	Details
	INT 202 Firewire Interface The INT202 is a small interface box for Firewire to AES/EBU and S/PDIF conversion. In addition the audio volume and polarity can be controlled in the digital domain via an infrared remote control unit. The INT202 finds its application in interfacing a PC or MAC computer to a D/A Converter unit. With the volume control feature it can also replace a preamplifier.	Details
	Vesta AES Firewire Interface The Vesta is a high performance stereo Firewire to/from AES/EBU converter. It is used with file playback devices such as a PC or MAC and a D/A Converter with an AES/EBU or S/PDIF input. With the Vesta it is now possible to hook up your favorite D/A Converter to the computer.	Details

We at Weiss have been active in Professional Audio since 1985 and in the High-End Hi-Fi market since 2001. We have an excellent reputation amongst professional Mastering Studios and continue to gain the same reputation with High-End Hi-Fi enthusiasts. Our commitment is to supply state of the art digital audio equipment to music lovers. We are challenged to satisfy a very critical clientele. We love this challenge – and We Are Listening.

“We all have been marveling over how great your gear opens up the music.
Both products have been invaluable assets to the special superior sound of my record.
I’m so fortunate to have the opportunity to use them for this project about peace through global collaboration.
Thanks for being a part of this grand vision for the future.”
