Offered is „DAC501 with remote control 2Ch“ by Weiss as exhibit from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5879233037 ends on 28.10.2026 at 10:04 o'clock.
€4,350 looks like a strong buy against your recent comp set: it sits well below the €4,979 25th percentile, far under the €5,643 median, and leaves room versus the €6,307 75th percentile. For a DAC of this caliber, that is the kind of pricing that usually gets attention quickly rather than lingering.
The DAC501 is well regarded for its clean, highly resolving DAC stage and flexible digital front end, so the appeal here is straightforward: serious sound quality without paying top-of-market money. If the unit is genuinely good condition and complete, this is the sort of listing that makes sense to move on promptly, especially if it includes the original packaging, remote, or any desirable input/license options.
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.
