Edit 6/13/2012: Price drop. Also at my asking price I'll include a Reference Recordings HRx sampler disc (DVD-R) containing 176.4 kHz/24 bit WAV files from the RR HRx catalog. This is a wonderful disc - great music and amazing sonics - and a great way to quickly dive into HiRez enjoyment with the Weiss DAC2.
Exceptional DAC from Weiss - Blue Moon Award winner from SixMoons.com. Electronically identical to the Minerva DAC – the only difference is the faceplate. Ideally suited for computer audio applications, but fully capable and equally wonderful as an outboard DAC for disc-based playback.
Asking $2,000 (OBO) plus shipping/paypal as applicable (shipping from 92037). I've got a fair bit of feedback at Audiogon (membername is "lparsons").
