Weiss audio was founded by Daniel Weiss back in 1984 in order to produce the highest quality digital audio products for professional studios. The high-end products produced by Weiss benefit from their enormous expertise in the professional world, including Daniel’s background at the PCM lab at Willi Studer AG in Switzerland.

The desire of a rapidly growing number of audiophiles is to be able to play your music back from a computer at the highest possible quality. Considering the limitations of most computers built in audio output, a truly high-end solution was needed. We are sure you’ll wish to benefit from the high resolution audio music that’s becoming increasingly available over the internet up to 192khz at 24 bit (more than 4 times the quality of ordinary CD’s)

Weiss audio of Switzerland have two solutions which meet these requirements perfectly. They are the Minerva Firewire DAC and Vesta audio interface. The Minerva is a complete solution, which plugs into your computer via Firewire for playback of up to 192khz 24bit files through it’s superb digital to analogue converter. The Vesta is an audio interface which allows you to extract the digital music from your computer, also up to 192 khz 24bit quality and feed it to an external DAC such as Weiss’s own Medea DAC or any DAC you may already own. The Minerva DAC has won critical acclaim from Computer Audiophile, HiFi News, La Stampa, Suono and Ultra Audio to name a few. Both of these products have arrived at exactly the right time for audiophiles who are moving to the new world of high quality digital playback from a computer.

Each Minerva DAC includes a sampler of the excellent HRX recordings from Reference Recordings (176.4/24bit) on a DVD data disc. Also by visiting the 2L website and entering in your Minerva serial number you are able to download a sampling of their excellent high resolution recordings for free.

For more traditional CD playback, Weiss also offer the ultra high-end Jason Transport and Medea DAC. Their product offering also includes the high powered Castor Class D digital amplifier as well as Chiron cables. Visit Weiss
