Thanks Ken, I look forward to seeing the measurements you refer to.

The Original MEDEA and MEDEA+ have 11 years of different in design technology. Honestly I still think Original MEDEA is excellent sounding, MEDEA+ is so much better. Thanks to the shortest signal path design on 32bit DAC with 8pc OP1-BP amp stage.

I have measurements of MEDEA+ which will later post up. Those are as crazy as OP1-BP SOTA performances, which I cannot see anything is better. Although I have to agree that SOUND preference is always personal.

About USB board, and other things. Daniel and I have discussed a bit during Munich show and will see how to implement, stay tuned. The first upgrade is definitely OP1-BP board.

Ken, is that an original Medea I see in the Weiss room? How come the medea+ was not featured?

Hello. I have downloaded free ‘Amarra HiFi for Weiss’ supporting up to 96kHz for my Weiss DAC and White Macbook system. Can I download with no extra charge the latest Amarra HiFi software which supports up to 192kHz, and the Amarra 2.4 version?

Thanks!

Gibson

Another question, will Weiss also provide a USB upgrade option for the Medea+? I.e. the board that is in the DAC202U. Thanks

Thanks for providing this information, very helpful.

As a medea owner I am very interested in this upgrade. It is a lot of money and so I would like to hear it in my system and see if it is worth the expense, I am already very pleased with the performance of the original medea. I have contacted my local distributor (I am based in Belgium) and they do not have a unit on hand that they can lend out.

Do you know of any 3rd party reviews of the Medea vs. Medea+? Would you be willing to give your own impressions? Have you contacted Stereophile or TAS for reviewing the Medea plus? The 202 has caused quite a stir in the audiophile industry, I am sure there would be alot of interest in reviewing weiss’s newly redesigned flagship to see how it compares to similarly priced models from dCS, esoteric, playback designs, etc.

Thanks,
Joost

Thanks for your comments. The d+1394 has good shielding and eye patterns. After suggesting this cable too all our Weiss customers, I no longer receive any problem of unlocking our DACs because of bad cables, therefore we are still recommending this our customers.

Dear Master,
firewire cable is a data carrier, i.e. digital, do you have data / measurements / controlled study to show “reliability” in terms of data lost / wrong digits received vs. standard Firewire. There is a lot of placebo effect in general, and with a digital cable it should be really down to the statistics and hard facts, or am i missing something ?
best, Florian

I just found your site through computeraudiophile.com. I was interested in downloading the samples from your HQCD, but the link took me to a 404 error page. Are these two samples still available to be downloaded as a trial before purchase of CD?
