Weiss Minerva Dac

What I am interested in learning is if any person has compared a Weiss DAC against a 'respected' CD Player & can write some comments on it.
I am more interested to learn how a CD Player performs against a computer / firwire DAC.
Thanks.

I think there's some bad info above. For example, the RR HRx recordings are 24/176 and they can be fed with a single AES/EBU cable into a DAC such as the Berkeley.

Also, iTunes does support 24-bit word length.

Also, 24/192 is possible via USB 2.0. I don't believe anyone is doing it yet, but Empirical Audio is planning to. Will require two clocks.

If what Drubin says is correct, then USB / Single Digital Cable from Transport to DAC should be possible for 24/192.

Is that so ?

Schwinnindia,

The problem is everyone is only using USB 1.0 until now, as Drubin said Empirical Audio is planing on releasing a DAC with USB 2.0!

ATM USB 1.0 96/24 MAX.
