The Weiss DAC 204 - Have you heard this stunning little DAC?

Is it possible that the un-attenuated signal from the Weiss was too much for your amplifier?

No, the amp has sufficient input headroom, and has no difficulty with the similarly high output of my phono stage.

I am now trying a Fidelizer Nikola II power supply with my Weiss 205, in place of the Teddy Pardo power supply. The Nikola II is about twice the price of the Teddy power supply and is a noticeable improvement in terms of image size, colour and smoothness. The Teddy Pardo PSU is perhaps a little faster sounding, and is still a very good PSU for the price.

Very interesting indeed, Ill try th -10db switch!!

Do you have plans for testing the original Weiss powersupply?

I was discussing this with an individual on messenger a while back, he claimed the Weiss PS was the work of a genius, and that he and his hifi community used them for «everything» they were worth it….

I'm sure the Weiss power supply is excellent, but it costs more than the DAC itself.

I've now moved the Weiss DAC to my desktop system and it sounds great with my LS3/5As, but I can't justify investing any more into it.
