Angeboten wird „Audio DAC205 Mk2 – Digital to Analogue Converter - NEW“ von Weiss als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 977680551 endet am 28.07.2026 um 06:17 Uhr.
€2,499 is roughly fair to slightly firm for a Weiss DAC205 Mk2 in new condition. Against your comparable EUR listings (median €2,599, range €1,889–€2,812), this asking price sits just below the 25th percentile, positioning it as a reasonable entry point if the unit is genuinely unused. The DAC205 Mk2 is a respected mastering-grade converter with solid resale demand, so the seller isn't overreaching—but verify the "new" claim rigorously, as cosmetic-only refurbs sometimes get labeled that way. If it's truly factory-sealed or shows zero evidence of use, the price holds water.
Before committing, confirm the serial number hasn't been activated and request detailed photos of the rear connectors and display for any signs of power-on. The DAC205 Mk2's AES/EBU and S/PDIF inputs are the failure points worth testing if the seller allows it; ask whether the original packaging, power cable, and warranty documentation are included. Weiss gear typically runs trouble-free, but a unit priced at the lower end of your comp range warrants extra scrutiny on condition—new doesn't always mean unused.
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.
