The most important comparison ,I opine, is between the dac's . The Weiss is an independant dac w/out pre where the DCC2 is dac combined w/pre-less efficient than the previous.I read some reviews of both but listened only to the Weiss which sounded excellent .I'm not familiar at all with either one of the transports although i think that the weiss doesn't have SACD at all and have never encountered any article on either of them.....and would love to read one...
