Offered is „Audio DAC204 Mk2 – Multiformat DAC and Format Converter - NEW“ by Weiss as new device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8782868052 ends on 26.10.2026 at 06:11 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market if the unit is clean and fully functional: at €3,150, the asking price sits below the common new-retail level and looks fair to slightly strong, not overpriced, for a DAC204-class Weiss piece. Recent market sightings put used examples around €2,100, while new pricing has been seen at €3,150–€3,490 depending on seller and version, so this lands closer to the upper end of used value than a bargain.
What makes it worth buying is the Weiss house sound and pro-grade signal handling: the DAC204 is respected for very transparent conversion, excellent digital format flexibility, and studio-oriented build quality from a Swiss manufacturer with a strong reputation. At this price, I’d want confirmation of version, remote/accessories, and a clean operational history, but there’s no obvious red-flag premium here if it’s complete and in nice condition.
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.
