Hi AmirYes, It is waited until October 2021, but the master prefer take his time to have it just perfect.
Certainly a serious contender to PLAYBACK DESIGNS MPD-8.
PHPAUDIO only sells WEISS and PLAYBACK DESIGNS in digital
Any idea of its expected price? TIAHi Amir
WEISS DAC HELIOS is finally there . This new reference professional level will be ready to ship mid February. He has a slim design like 502 but this time all the enclosure is in aluminium as MEDUS was. This flagship DAC will be a incredible performer at a reasonable price for master performance.

Yes I know the price, it's 18200 CHF excluding VAT, excluding tax / importation fees depending on the country. Around 22 K€ in FranceAny idea of its expected price? TIA
Do you have any idea if Weiss will continue to explore the R-2R solution, perhaps in a model above the Helios?Hi Amir

Daniel WEISS chooses ESS Sabre ES9028PRO
Hello Matthias
Sorry, is this price correct?
Thx
Matt
Philippe, have you had a chance to listen to the Helios yet?Not now, prices increased in April due to SF vs Euro parity.
Price is 21800 euros including French VAT at 20%.
Also all other WEISS models are a bit more expensive.
Kind Regards
Philippe
Not yet. I will do in October. As I expect, HELIOS will be a direct competition of PLAYBACK MPD-6 + StreamX2 but not MPD8 or MPS-8 + Stream X2. I will report.@PhP Have you had the chance to compare playback designs to Weiss helios?
