Weiss DAC 501 Mark 1 Ethernet Verizon issue

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.

Hey @2andy .  I do know how frustrating these things can be.  A will tell you it is a network issue. B will tell you it is a hardware issue.  From personal experience, I have learned to at least check the internet speed at the streamer or DAC.  EZ to use an adapter (Ethernet > USB C) and plug it into a laptop.  Run Google speed test.  Now at least you know your upload and download speeds AT THE STREAMER.  You can do this multiple times throughout the day, and at least rule out bad ethernet.
