Weiss DAC 501 Mark 1 Ethernet Verizon issue

@2andy 

a glass of nice pinot or cab usually makes the music sound nicer too!!!

i did the upgrade to the weiss mainly to ’future proof’ the unit... i sent it to tmr in colorado and they had it back to me in about 10 days ... in my conversations with daniel w prior to this he did not lead me to believe it would be a night and day uptick sonically -- but i have been such a fan of the unit, its wonderful sound, how its bass management feature is so easy and so useful, the small form factor... i thought what the heck let’s just do it

if one is on a tighter budget, the upgrade can be skipped, there shouldn’t be a great deal of ’fomo’ here

I have a Weiss DAC501-MK2. I use it exclusively as a Roon endpoint with Qobuz. I have also tried Audirvana with Qobuz via the UPnP endpoint on the Weiss DAC. It has all worked flawlessly, although I gave up on Audirvana for the really poor user interface/experience vs. what I get with Roon.

In any case, I have no ethernet connectivity issues. I use AT&T gigabit fiber service.

JJ thanks again. Daniel Weiss recommended JPlay as a Roon alternative using UPnP. I thought it sounded a little more transparent and spatial than Roon and, I got to eliminate the server box. Roon is also pretty great. 

Guys I was able to get the Weiss 501 DAC connected into my network but can’t get JPLAY to connect to the DAC. If I wanted to switch to Roon what are the mechanisms to do that? I can’t just D/L Roon to my IPad and use it thru that like my Quobuz app right? Daniel Weiss said he’s working on a way to connect the DAC to Quobuz directly but that’s not ready yet. if I have BluOS Node 2 I streamer can I use that in conjunction with Roon? Why is this so friggin hard? 

You need to install Roon on a regular computer (macOS or Windows). Once you have it running there, you can install Roon Remote on your iPad and control it from there. After you enable the DAC501 as a Roon endpoint and connect uour Qobuz account in Roon settings, it’s easy to stream Qobuz using the Roon Remote iPad app.
