Αχχχ, αυτή η Weiss.... :respect:
Tιμές: €12,300 για τον Jason (CD transport), €10,600 για τη Medea (DAC).
"In conclusion, the Weiss duo completely avoided my reactions to the first-generation NuForce amps and Benchmark Media's DAC-1 where I felt that the presentation of detail against ultra-black backgrounds exhibited an unnaturally heightened contrast ratio, ultimately lacked tone and suffered artifice in the treble. The Weiss sound is free of those shortcomings. In fact, it's free of anything that could be termed sonic shortcoming with a straight face. In amp-direct mode with speakers like Rethm's Saadhana, I personally preferred the Ancient Audio's 6H30 action for enhanced timbral richness but as with every sound comment in this review, the delta of difference was a small fissure in the ground only ants would mistake for an abyss.
Features are truly comprehensive; the remote is a poster child for intuitive organization; build quality seems superlative - and pricing befits Swiss luxury kit. Competitors I've reviewed are the two-box Esoterics and, for converters, the Stylus Systems Had. If you've been through the kid-in-the-candy-shop phase, you'll appreciate the unadorned, compact material implementation of Weiss. Considering the unstoppable ascendancy of hard-drive and eventually solid-state memory-based playback, the sheer fact that RedBook-only products of the Weiss Jason + Medea's caliber remain available to 2-channel non-professional hobbyists is astonishing. This, after all, is professional kit. How many home-based audiophiles will be prepared to invest steeply into a fading delivery format is a question for the pundits and their crystal balls. Those in the market for $30K digital machines know exactly who they are. It's to them these Weiss pieces are relevant. Those content with 98%, at the associated component level I'm personally playing at, can enter this game far earlier during the coin-saving process..."
