Angeboten wird „DAC502 MK2 -4ch silver“ von Weiss als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Digitale Quellen (CD/DVD/Streamer...)“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9062894985 endet am 21.07.2026 um 13:32 Uhr.
Weiss’s DAC502 sits in the upper-tier digital front end camp, and this asking price is fair to slightly strong, not a bargain. With a median comparable asking price of €7,575 and a 25th–75th percentile band of €7,528–€7,583, €7,500 lands just below the lower quartile, so it’s a modest value play in this market.
That makes it appealing for someone who wants a serious, all-in-one DAC with a strong reputation for transparency, flexibility, and studio-grade decoding rather than a fashion-piece component. In good condition, this looks like a sensible buy if the unit is complete and functioning cleanly; the upside is mainly that you’re paying under the typical recent asking cluster for a product many owners keep long term.
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.
