Weiss INT202 is an interface only, no dac inside.

Minerva = INT202 + onboard dac.

Thanks. Vash hing..
That's why half price of the Minerva...
Do you think
Mac itune firewire->Minerva is sound better than
Window foobar ->1394a->Minerva.?

I am a Windows user, no matter foobar or cplay, both sounds great with my dac2 in the past.

Anyhow, it should also sound great with Mac as well.

More information regarding INT202 including internal structure photos.

http://www.designwsound.com/dwsblog/?page_id=2033

- Works for both PC and Mac (Windows 7 and Snow Leopard)
- Single Wire / Dual Wire are support
- Up to 24bit/192kHz Digital Output
- Internal Master Clock design
- Optional remote control for digital volume control / absolute phase switches.
- When the level is 0dBFS (full volume output) and in phase, the digital signal is bit transparent output.

Hello, I don't usually comment on pricing since I respect everyone has different thought anyway. But maybe a little further sharing can be done on this topic.

The optional remote control add/relate to the digital volume / absolute phase control. If you do not have the optional remote control, you don't have these features.

On the other hand, some people use INT202 straight as a computer digital audio interface, they have volume control and absolute phase switches on DAC/preamp, they do not need such "extra" features.

Weiss can include all features on the INT202 pricing, OR bundle those "extra" features with the remote control as an option. The choice is yours.

The idea of INT202 is to create an ideal/premium quality stereo CAS interface. Even though the INT202 cost cannot be put into affordable range, it serves the CAS idea at its best. We have very happy customers using INT202 with Burmester 069 and dCS Scarlatti systems.

INT202 at least a few advantage over audiophile sound card, firstly you don't have to live with cheapy breakout cable, while you leave extra unused channel hanging in the air, feeling messy and leave it oxidizing over time, secondly, you dun have to worry about clocking upgrade, you don't have to live with noisy switching PC psu, with optional Power Supply upgrade.

And most notebook / netbook user unable to use Lynx/RME soundcard!

Hi Kent,

You stated in your article:

"The outputs can be operated in single wire up to 192 kHz sampling rate or in dual wire at the 176.4 / 192 kHz rates."

But later in the specification:

"Single wire operation at sampling rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 kHz
Single or dual wire operation at sampling rates of 176.4 or 192 kHz"

1. Can you clarify that if I use single wire SPDIF, what sample rates are supported?

2. My Naim DAC has 4 SPDIF inputs, will it support dual wire?

3. What would an external power supply bring to the table? Will it improve sound quality?

4. What do you think of a 5M coaxial connection to the DAC? Will the length degrade sound quality?

5. My computer requires 4-5M cable to the DAC, is it better to use (a) long USB cable, short coaxial cable OR (b) Short USB cable, long coaxial cable?

6. Is the INT202 at AFI-1 level for only stereo playback?

Thanks in advance. I enjoyed your DAC2 a lot, and want to enjoy the same CAS convenience and sound quality with the INT202.

Hello agentsmittie,

I will cross post this on the Asia Weiss website too since I saw your post there. Congratulation on the new purchase, that should be a great one as well. We have used the Sharc and Black Fin DSP PLL design in Medea since 2000 and it is one of the best solutions. I have been testing it myself too and admire their engineering team products are solid and well behave. I was just quite shocked when I knew the USB is for the external medium, rather than computer. But this shows again they are doing what they are strong at and not just providing features over performances.

Back to INT202. That sentence is indeed quite twisting when I first read it. However we want to keep the original tone from Switzerland so that we just keep using that.

- Single Wire operation at sampling rates 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192kHz
- Double Wire operation at sampling rates 176.4 and 192kHz

- Your Naim DAC supports 24/192kHz on SPDIF
- External Power does not improve the quality but just providing stable DC (9V-12V, 0.3A) so that when you remove firewire it keeps the unit on. The new production run will also provide a feature when you have external power connected, the INT202 will not draw any firewire bus power from the computer.

- 5M of coaxial is not a problem, 5M of firewire is not a problem too. The quality will not be degrade, the Sharc DSP + Black Fin is there for such reason.

- USB is never recommended, especially for such long distance, even though if it is locks, and your DAC dejttering is ideal, it should not be a problem. I will prefer 5M coaxial.

- We have few customer upgrades from AFI1 to INT202, that speaks for itself.

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

dear Kent,
i'm a user of dac2, since i used my macbook to connect with dac2, however,found very inconvenient to operate and select music with a short firewire cable. where I buy a 6meter cables so i can operate the mac in listening position.

are there much distortion in using such long firewire cable.

Hello,

Please contact us offline. I would highly respect this is a public forum. We will assist you to offer 6M firewire cable. There is no loss in data connection since the Master clock of the playback system is located inside the DAC, which is important.

Thank you for your contact and Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Bests,
Kent

Thanks Kent, appreciate your quick reply and Happy New Year and wish for another home run year for you. The Weiss DAC2 really was faultless but being a Naim nut I was curious to try out their solution. Like you I was flabbergasted that they did not include proper computer connectivity. I tried the M2Tech HiFace but suspect it is limiting performance of the Naim so I am quite sure that there is an INT202 in my near future. The price is a little steep though.

> Your Naim DAC supports 24/192kHz on SPDIF

I assume that is with single SPDIF cable?

Like I said, I see an INT202 in my future, will contact you privately.

Hi Kent,

I what aspect would INT202 be better than AFI1? The are both digital converter only.

Hello Ackcheng,

Indeed the INT202 is designed/worked the same as AFI1. However many consumer users do not need 24 channels on firewire connection, and the design (circuit board layout) between the two is slightly different, therefore some consumer users are moving to INT202 from AFI1.

Kent

Hello agentsmittie,

Yes, single SPDIF cable works @ 176.4 and 192kHz.

Hi Kent,

Can you confirm that the older INT202 cannot be upgraded via firmware to support the bit-perfect test function?

If not, how about a hardware upgrade?

thanks
