Weiss DAC 501 Mark 1 Ethernet Verizon issue


Anyone out there have the Weiss DAC 501 Mk 1? I’m having trouble getting Quobuz or JPLAY to Recognize the Weiss DAC. Anyone out there have the same issues? I think it may be a Verizon issue as I have my Ethernet cable coming out of a Verizon extender into the Weiss DAC….

jjss49 when u first installed it did your streamer app instantly recognize the Weiss? Were u using Ethernet cable? What streamer app and what connection were u using? Ethernet? Were u using the Weiss’s internal streamer or an outboard streamer? What internet provider and streamer service were u using etc? 🙏 

I have the Weiss 501 MK 1…..sounds like a networking issue. If all fails, contact Daniel Weiss, he is very responsive.

jjss, could you describe the upgrade to 4 ch? Was it worth the money and how long was the turn around.

thanks

Tuberist he responded but he agrees it’s probably a Verizon issue but I can’t get a human being on the phone I’ve been on hold for 20 mins now I’m pulling my hair out 😂 

Tuberist do u like the Weiss so far? Are running an Ethernet cable into for streaming? What did it do to your system sound wise?

I have owned my Weiss more than three years and have never had the slightest desire to change to something else. It all depends on your sonic taste. The Weiss provides a “you’re in the studio“ presentation with great clarity and transparency so you really are getting close to what the engineers actually heard. It would not be a sound that everyone would like and my previous DAC was an expensive Lumin product which sounded lifeless in comparison to the Weiss. BTW, I use the streamer and preamp functions. JPlay and Qobuz utilized. This is an incredible piece. Suggest you get an IT pro to help.
