The DAC501-4ch/DAC502-4ch

Congratulations on purchasing

the DAC501-4ch or DAC502-4ch D/A converter!

Figure 1: The front panel of the DAC502-4ch

The DAC501-4ch/DAC502-4ch are our new state of the art D/A converters with an unprecedented level of
sophistication and versatility. With the DAC501-4ch/DAC502-4ch we are creating a new paradigm for what
used to be a black box device.
A typical D/A Converter is a ”set and forget” device. Not so with the DAC50x-4ch. It adds a number of interesting
signal processing features and sports a variety of digital inputs. Balanced, unbalanced and headphone outputs
are provided.
Weiss Engineering has a 30 year history in D/A Converter design. In that time span we have learned a thing
or two about converter design. The DAC50x-4ch is the essence of our experiences.

The DAC502-4ch uses a larger frame but else sports the same features as the DAC501-4ch. The front of the
DAC502-4ch is displayed in fig. 1, the DAC501-4ch in fig. 2. The term DAC50x-4ch refers to both models.
The basic operation of the DAC50x-4ch is outlined in this Quick Start Guide. For all the powerful features of
the DAC50x-4ch refer the DAC50x-4ch User Manual and White Papers mentioned below.
