Weiss Minerva Dac


Hi,

I wanted to know if anyone over here has got the Minerva dac from Weiss. What is the sound like? also can one up-sample to 192KHz and stream it to the DAC?

Best Regards,

Satyam Bachani.

Correction -- it was the Medea I heard, not the Minerva. Both DACs were fed by a Slim Devices Transporter via SPDIF. An external word clock was in use with the Transporter. Goldmund monoblock amplifiers diving modified large Tonian loudspeakers.
Satyam,

I am pretty sure I had the Minerva driven by iTunes at 192 kHz. I can try again tomorrow and see the highest frequency at which the Minerva locks. This was with a Macbook Pro.
Hi guys,
I too am considering the Weiss Minerva dac.
But I am also considering the Wavelength Crimson, with the new ESS Sabre DAC chip inside.Yes this is a tube based dac and may not quite be the comparison.
Any thoughts on the Wavelength Crimson to the Weiss Minerva?
Thank you.
