[#1] Firewire for Weiss DAC2    
Currently using Apple original firewire cable to connect between Mac mini & DAC 2. Though Kent mentioned the cable should not affect the sound performance but any C-hing try different brands and is there any difference ?

I did tried many OEM type and now stay with the Apple (white) firewire as well. Rumour said it is made by Belkin. (not yet sure)

1394 是一個工業用既規格。只要 lock 得到就得。否則與 "bit perfect" 既理論背道而馳啊。

In theory, your DAC2 has its own power so the 1394 cable doesn't carry the power that means the cable is insignificant. The same for USB.

just tried LAcie flat cable, at least the look is better than orginal one from apple or those $50 stuff from computer centre...

However, wanna try the 0.5M apple orginal cable,
will shorter the better(less potential data loss)

moreover, as i know, there is 1394 from crystal cable and slitech

Some overseas discussion forums say that this firewire cable can improve Apple+Weiss performance. Not expensive & worth trying.

It is really confusing for firewire 400 & 800. I think we can study the following link :

Hi DAC2 user

I am looking for a reliable firewire for DAC2. Would you guys give me some advice about

1) Brand
2) Length has to be around 4 to 5M
3) Where to buy (better local than online since it's faster)
4) and price of course.


Thank you very much ... I need it urgently ...

I went through the same thing and asked Daniel Weiss. If you have a PC laptop without Firewire you can use PCMCIA or Express cards. According to Daniel the safe bet is to get a Firewire card with TI (Texas Instrument) chipset. Daniel mentioned that many other chipsets are known not to work.

I ran around and found a reasonably priced PCMCIA card with TI chipset. I have since bought a Macbook with built in Firewire. If you are interested I can sell it for minimal cost since I won't need it anymore.
