Because remote viewing and meeting is becoming a work norm, just add a little play in it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. You are confirming what I was hoping was the case, the Weiss DAC501 is a excellent high-end DAC.

I'm definitely very interested in one for myself later this year.
Have been playing a bit this morning. Comparing the DAC501 headphone output vs my Chord Etude... I can say that I am again incredibly surprised by what this can do.

Now obviously it has no problem driving the Meze Elites. So I tried my 1266 TC's with the DAC501 vs Chord Etude. The Weiss was able to drive them, and not just make them "loud", but the bass was present, controlled, the sound stage was as I was used to. All the boxes were checked. Now, don't get me wrong, the Etude has more grunt to it - and could drive them further, but I could easily listen to the 1266's thru the Weiss and would be very happy. For the TT2 to meet this, it would have had to have used its XLR outs.

Still waiting on the Susvaras to arrive (still being sorted in the post), and will do a similar test.

And no I don't receive any commissions on this, it just seems like for me the Weiss DAC501 came out of the blue and has me converted.

Here is my head-fi set up in my office atm.DSC02500.jpg

That's an awesome setup. Makes me want to have a desk setup again. Is that desk and monitor riser from IKEA? Where did you get the lamp? Also curious about the folded US flag. Are you or a family member a military vet?

I switched things around in my room. So here is my current setup. Still tweaking things a bit. Also still looking for a new integrated amp for my speakers. My current HP amp is a Schiit Valhalla II but that may change as I have a Lyr 3 on the way. Bought one used on CAM.

Very nice set-up, indeed.

Also - this will sound a little creepy, but I used to live in Memphis and couldn't help but notice the photo on your desk, which is the fountain at South Bluffs if I'm not mistaken? This will also sound even creepier, but I think I know who your partner is in the photo (if she used to work at Bluff City Coffee?) I know the area well, because I used to live around the corner in The Lofts at South Bluffs (and miss it quite a bit...!)
