Offered is „Weiss DAC502 – high-end DAC / streamer / preamplifier – excellent condition“ by Weiss as second-hand device from the category „Streaming transport with integrated DAC“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7502511684 ends on 05.11.2026 at 14:45 o'clock.
Weiss Engineering’s DAC502 sits in the “serious reference DAC” tier, and €7,200 lands exactly at the recent used-market median, so this reads as a fair, market-rate ask rather than a bargain or an overreach. With the 25th percentile at €6,901 and the 75th at €7,369, the price is comfortably in the normal band for a good-condition example.
What makes it appealing is the combination of neutral, highly resolving conversion and the feature set that keeps it relevant well beyond simple DAC duty, so a clean unit can be a long-term keep. At this price, the real value is in condition, service history, and completeness: original remote, packaging, and any provenance from a careful owner all matter more than trying to shave a few hundred euros.
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.
