Weiss Audio Helios - DAC Professional High End level network music streamer up to 384 kHz, DSD64 and 128
19'674.00 CHF Télécommande incluse
The Weiss Audio Helios is our new state of the art D/A Converters with an unprecedented level of sophistication and versatility. With the Helios we are creating a new paradigm for what used to be a black box device. A typical D/A Con- verter is a ”set and forget” device. Not so with the Helios. It adds a number of interesting signal processing features and sports a variety of digital inputs. Furthermore, the unit functions as a pre-amp, headphone amp, and a streamer (UPnP/ROON).
Beschreibung
Weiss Engineering has a 30 year history in D/A Converter design. In that time span we have learned a thing or two about converter design. The Helios is the essence of our experiences.
The three interfaces:
We offer you three possibilities to control the Helios - so you can adjust the use and interaction of the Helios to your own special needs. In the following these three user interfaces are explained in more detail:
The LCD touch screen and rotary knob on the faceplate
The IR remote control
The web interface built into the Helios
