Weiss Minerva Dac

Interesting I'm looking forward to getting my Minerva by sometime in Jan (Waiting for it to be shipped) I'm hoping it betters my Audio Aero Prestige!, I'm looking for a DAC only solution that can connect to my server without a sound card. Hopefully this does the trick!

Satyam Bachani.

hi Drubin, could you describe the associated equip in both systems?

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.
