Is there any way to deliver Spotify to the Weiss? I know it does roon, which works for me most of the time. It for Spotify, does one need a bluesound or some other (reasonably priced) streamer?
Weiss 501 DAC
With great caution, just set up my new Weiss 501 DAC. Why pray tell with great caution? Because I'm running ATC 40 actives and did not wish to mistakenly cook them by incorrect hookup while using the unit as a DAC and single source preamp/volume control.
Far too soon for evaluation, but not too soon to observe and appreciate the incredibly small footprint of it all. Naim Core server, Weiss 501, Decware power conditioner all sitting on Quadraspire Reference X stand, appropriate cabling, PCs and done. Compact civilized aural pandemonium!

Hi, WEISS only supports UPnP, or your use roon core to see the 50x as roon ready device. Therefore you can’t use Spotify or Tidal Connect. Tidal & Qobuz can be used through the mconnect (app I don’t like). I use Lumin U2 mini (+ ferrum hypsos exteran PSU) to stream through RCA to the Weiss, or if you wanna really get the best out of the DAC, use some dedicated music server like Antipodes, Grimm Audio MU1 or Innous. Personally I’d highly recommend your move to Tidal or Qobuz, as Spotify doesn’t come close to that streaming quality.

@gerihifi I stream Qobuz, but Spotify has its place. |
in the recent past i have emailed with a question to weiss in switzerland, daniel weiss himself answered me within 24 hrs that said, you may need a networking tech to solve your local problem, weiss probably cannot help you... their stuff works, in my experience |
