Angeboten wird „Medea DAC Wandler“ von Weiss als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5466100285 endet am 03.09.2026 um 22:56 Uhr.
The Medea is a serious old-school statement DAC, and €2,990 looks very fair for one in good condition. That sits comfortably below the kind of €3,990 asking price seen on recent used listings and well under the roughly €10,600–€12,300 level implied by its original high-end pricing, so this is not an aggressive ask.
What makes it worth a look is the reputation: the Medea has long been admired for its authority, scale, and very clean, “nothing added” presentation, with enough resolution to still feel competitive if you like a neutral, studio-leaning sound. At this price, the upside is in getting a genuinely top-tier converter without paying modern flagship money; just confirm all digital inputs work, the output stage is quiet, and any original accessories are included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Weiss Engineering was founded in 1985 by Daniel Weiss in Switzerland, near Zürich, following his five years at Willi Studer AG where he pioneered digital audio innovations like sampling frequency converters and processors for recorders. A self-taught electronics enthusiast who built his own synthesizers, amplifiers, and even an electric violin in his youth, Weiss established the company to specialize in digital audio equipment for mastering studios, launching the modular 102 Series that remains relevant today at 24-bit/96 kHz. This heritage in professional signal processing laid the foundation for the brand's precision engineering ethos.
The company focuses on high-end digital audio components, excelling in digital-to-analog converters (DACs), CD transports, streaming devices, preamplifiers, and integrated amplifiers, all designed and manufactured in-house by a small team of eight. Early products like the Gambit Series—featuring standalone equalizers, dynamics processors, de-noisers, and converters with 40-bit floating-point processing—targeted mastering engineers, while the 2000 expansion into hi-fi introduced audiophile favorites such as the MEDEA DAC and Jason CD transport, now staples in discerning home systems worldwide.
Weiss Engineering occupies a niche boutique position at the pinnacle of the high-end hi-fi market, revered for its Swiss-made transparency, ergonomic excellence, and unmatched digital fidelity among knowledgeable audiophiles and professionals. Daniel Weiss's 2021 Technical Grammy Award underscores its authoritative status in digital audio, appealing to buyers seeking reference-grade performance over mass-market compromises.
