This is a 2010 device, that is still sold, but not a new device. It was good at it's time, not exellent. And Weiss has always been way to expensive. It's Swiss, and like many Swiss audio brands (Nagra, FM Acoustics, ...), the price is too high for what it is.This gives the impression that it's a current product <https://weiss.ch/products/highend-hifi/dac205/#information> and that it's "pro quality". Whatever is the case, the performance and features do not justify such a high price. Perhaps a lot of money was wasted on 4 converters per channel, and wouldn't a "pro" device have Chord-level filtering?
But Weiss used to be a much used convertor for mastering studio's in the early decades of digital music, and outside Prism, there was no one near that quality. In the meantime a lot changed off course, like you can see...
