Weiss has been active in Professional Audio since 1985 and in the High-End Hi-Fi market since 2001. They have the highest reputation amongst professional Mastering Studios and continue to gain the same reputation with High-End Hi-Fi enthusiasts. Each of their products is state of the art digital audio equipment designed for music lovers. Unlike most "high end" or professional digital equipment, Weiss is not cold and boring. It is not warm and coloured either. Simply, it has an accuracy akin to the sound of real life. Detailed and precise but with that indescribable flow and cohesiveness that you always get from real live instruments but rarely get from an audio system.

Weiss Medea Digital to Analog Converter$18999.00 CDN The MEDEA is a stereo 24 bit / 192kHz Digital to Analog converter designed with the aim of keeping an absolutely uncompromised audio signal path. Much detail and thought was spent on the digital input as well as the analog output stage. Both have in common the purest possible approach in audio design, aspiring for nothing less than excellence. Three AES/EBU inputs on XLR connectors, 4 S/PDIF (RCA) and one on Toslink (optical). The accepted sampling frequencies are 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz. Weiss Jason CD Transport$22999.00 CDN The JASON CD Transport is an addition to our already famous MEDEA D/A Converter. The design and electronics are of the same high quality in both units. We included many features in the JASON which make it the CD Transport of choice not only in conjunction with the MEDEA but for all kinds of D/A Converters or Digital Amplifiers. The JASON contains an upsampler feature which allows to upsample the basic 44.1kHz / 16Bit data stream from the CD to 88.2 kHz or 176.4 kHz for subsequent D/A conversion. Weiss Castor Mono Power Amplifier$27999.00 CDN each Each mono block unit offers 600 watts of power (at 4 Ohms) with an extremely low output impedance, low noise and distortion and a 50kHz bandwidth. One XLR input (balanced) and one RCA input (unbalanced). Two pairs of WBT connectors suited for bi-wiring speakers. Weiss ATT202 Passive Attenuator w/ Remote Control$6999.00 CDN The ATT202 is a fully passive, stepped, resistive attenuator for balanced or unbalanced stereo signals. It can be used in place of a preamplifier to control the volume of a single source like e.g. a D/A converter. 44 step attenuator with a range of 34 dB. Switch selectable input / output, XLR or RCA. Switches to adapt the ATT202 to different output impedances. Infrared remote control with volume up, volume down and mute buttons. Gas tight reed contacts sealed in glass for utmost reliability. Stepper motor driven for remote control facility. Weiss Vesta FireWire Converter$4799.00 CDN The VESTA is a high performance stereo Firewire to/from AES/EBU converter. It is used in conjunction with a sound file playback device such as a PC or MAC and a D/A Converter with an AES/EBU or S/PDIF input. Weiss Chiron 1m Digital Interconnect$495.00 CDN The CHIRON family of cables represents our dedication to quality even external to the equipment we build. CHIRON cables have been developed with utmost transparency as the main design goal. Both the analog and digital balanced interconnects with XLR connectors are unshielded for very low stray capacitance effects.
