[#21] Firewire for Weiss DAC2    
I found a FireWire cable made by Bafo seems not bad. With gold plated terminals and braid shelding. They have different length and I bought a 2m one but yet to try. I bought it in causeway bay.

Firewire 800 is 9 pin.

The head on the Weiss DAC2 is 6 pin.

For new Mac with Firewire 800 to Weiss DAC2 you need to buy a 9pin to 6 pin firewire cable.

Tks.
I am itchy and trying to find a firewire 800 hi-fi cable.
Most of the hi-fi brand firewire is firewire 400.

I think there will be a dramatically effect on different brands of USB rather than Firewire.

icefox hing,

Do you know anything about this cable?

Looks like the connectors will not fir the Macbook nor the Weiss DAC, I guess adapters will be required?

I think it is not Firewire 800.
And I can't find more info. abt it.
I had find several brand that got firewire, but none of them is 800 version, most of them is very old version.

I could be wrong but I don't think you need Firewire 800 for Weiss DACs. In fact, I heard that FW800 injects power to the circuits which affects the sound negatively?

>But my Mac is firewire 800 output and weiss is 400 input

I am not sure if the DAC is 400 or 800. But I have been told below from the computer audiophile forum:

"Some people have commented that a small but noticeable improvement in quality can be achieved if you use a 9pin (FW800) to 4pin adaptor, then a 4pin to 6pin cable. This stops the computer's power being transmitted to the DAC2. Or if you can get one, a specially made 9pin to 6pin cable without power conductors."

Which makes sense because unnecessary power in the circuit may affect the sound.

I have not been able to find a 4-8pin adapter and a long 4pin to 6 pin cable though.

>>>a long 4pin to 6 pin cable though.

Tried, may not able to 'lock'.

And, 4p to 6p cable or 6p to 6p cable sounds no difference on my gear.

DAC2 doesn't need draw power from firewire port. It works as a connection only, non-real time, very fast firewire connection.

I do have some samples of Firewire cables from few authority in the market. I will bring it up and test for demo during the Digital Audio Seminar next Sat/Sun.

But I agree that quality cable works better, especially most of the Weiss DAC2 are related to the wrong cheap broken firewire cable.

I tried some branded product and some general computer use/industrial type. Currently the sound make no difference on my 'cheap cheap' system.

But one industrial type with length 2 metres cannot able to 'lock' by Weiss. I proved the cable is operational on other 1394 periperhal.

If you don't need to transfer the power to your DAC via the Firewire/USB cable, I don't see why the cable is so crucial.

I have a 4.5 metre Belkin 800 to 400 firewire and it locks as other firewires I have.
