Angeboten wird „DAC 502 MKII (4ch)“ 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 352036731 endet am 06.07.2026 um 06:03 Uhr.
Against the obvious alternative of waiting for a cleaner deal, €7,500 looks very strong here: it sits just below the €7,515 25th percentile and under the €7,563 median, so this is effectively a near-floor asking price in the recent EUR comps. For a DAC502, that’s the kind of number that makes sense to move on if the unit is genuinely as described.
The appeal is straightforward: this is a respected, high-end DAC with the sort of resolution, neutrality, and control that keeps it relevant in serious systems. At this price, the upside is in getting a reference-grade converter at a level that’s hard to better in the used market, especially if the listing is complete and clean. I’d treat it as a buy-leaning opportunity, with the only real check being condition, service history, and any included accessories.
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.
