從事專業錄音室器材研發的瑞士Weiss公司，於1985年由修習電子工程專業的Daniel Weiss創立，而Daniel Weiss本人對於音響器材不僅有理論上的扎實基礎，他於完成學業之後，曾進入Studer（Studer-Revox）的瑞士公司工作，從事數位錄音機（Digital Audio Recoeder）的取樣頻率轉換設備，以及數位信號處理之電路設計達五年之久，因此在技術實作面上也有著深厚的經驗。Weiss公司的的第一個產品系列「102 Series」廣受專業錄音界好評，直到今日仍在生產銷售（已升級到24bit/96kHz版本），並為全球數百家專業錄音室廣泛使用，為專業器材領域立下了極高的標竿。
在專業錄音器材方面獲得極大的成功之後，從2001年開始，Weiss開始轉進家用Hi-End音響產品的研發，設計製作出許多廣受好評的高級音響器材。現今可見於台灣市場的DAC 202，即以其洗鍊高雅，解析細膩且充滿音樂性的優越特質為發燒友津津樂道，是新世代訊源時代的一顆耀眼明星，更是Weiss公司在Hi-End音響界有力的宣示。如今Weiss公司的行銷已遍布全球，一向對Hi-End精神充滿遠見與前瞻性的亞洲地區，更是Weiss公司極為看重的市場，在亞洲地區的推廣不僅對Weiss公司意義重大，這更是亞洲地區發燒友的一大福音。

| MAN301 Server Version |  | 產品說明:
The MAN301 is a system for music archiving, music library maintenance, music playback, CD playback & ripping, Internet radio streaming and more.
The MAN301 comes in two versions, the “DAC” version includes a D/A Converter (the MAN301DAC), the “SERVER” version has digital outputs only for connecting an external D/A Converter (the MAN301SERVER). The SERVER version can be user upgraded to the DAC version at any time.
產品特色:
External music storage on a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device or USB device
multiple NAS units can be added to the library for unlimited storage
remote control via an Apple iPad, no keyboard, mouse, monitor required
digital inputs for external audio sources: AES/EBU or S/PDIF on XLR, RCA, TOSLINK
digital outputs to external D/A Converters: AES/EBU on XLR and RCA, FireWire, USB
DAC Version: Analog outputs on XLR and RCA - technical better than our renowned DAC202 unit
wordclock input and output on BNC for synchronization
Ethernet for connecting to NAS, local network
WiFi antenna for connecting to iPad, local network
typical setups: 1) MAN301 connected directly to the NAS and iPad, in addition (optionally) to the in-house WiFi for Internet access. 2) MAN301, NAS, iPad connected to a WiFi Router.
multiple MAN301 devices can be controlled from within a single iPad
multiple users per MAN301 device are supported, each with his/her own music library, playlists, searches etc.
all common audio file formats (uncompressed, lossless compressed, lossy compressed) are supported for playback and ripping
music library displayed according to album names, artist names, genres, recently played, recently added
powerful search facility, allows to store searches which result in dynamic playlists
playlists are easily added, edited and can be set safe
volume control in 4 coarse analog steps and with a high resolution, dithered digital fader
powerful cover art search algorithm which allows the user to select the most appropriate cover art out of an intelligent pre-selection
CD metadata fetching from various databases
comprehensive user interface on iPad, easily to be handled even by computer novices
software upgradeable via Internet
internet radio streaming
future software upgrades will include various DSP facilities
《音響論壇》報導:[剖析]Weiss MAN301音樂資料庫播放機，最理想的數位流訊源典型 | | 定價：304000 售價：call | | MAN301 Dac Version |  | 1.超強rip機
除了具備傳統CD轉盤的功能最強大的是經由極精確的讀取機制,將CD訊號百分百的rip,可轉換成aiff, wav, apple lossless, flac, mp3, ogg, aac, mpc.原廠建議使用的格式是apple lossless與flac,因為Weiss MAN301的技術可將flac與 apple lossless可以完全轉換回原本的無失真訊號,且占較小的空間.聲音表現與wav或aiff無異.MAN301可直接連上Grace Note資料庫,捉取CD資訊.傳統使用電腦CD ROM來rip,若要求快則品質不佳,若要品質好擇耗費時間,且有許多軟體參數設定.如今MAN301捉取一軌平均只需30秒,卻有著百分百的品質.
2.優秀的網路串流播放能力
由於MAN301本身並不含硬碟,因此必須外掛USB硬碟或是串接區域網路裡的NAS硬碟,而強大的擴充能力讓MAN301可以同時外掛多達十顆NAS硬碟.一舉解決音樂檔案儲存空間的問題.您從此可以將所有CD收藏都轉換為數位檔案,再也不用擔心CD刮傷,發霉,等問題.而MAN301在解碼前,會先將檔案資訊捉取到內建的SSD中進行重新排列,達到數位播放的最穩定環境.
3.一Pad在手其樂無窮
MAN301的所有控制都在Weiss MAN APP上進行,從播放,選曲,製作清單,到rip音軌,甚至選擇DAC的filter模式,反相位,輸出電平,各種輸出方式的輸出大小調整等功能,都可在APP上完成.連播放介面上看似與iPhone相同的拖曳式音量調整,都是經過Weiss精密設計,按一下就可增益或衰減1db,形同是非常精準的數位式前級.
4.無遠弗屆的升級功能
MAN301最大的特點在於如電腦般的擴充與升級性能.目前預設的解碼是24bit/192Khz,但之後經由韌體與軟體的更新,可以支援到384KHz的超高取樣率.也可以支援DSD檔案的解碼.成為非常強大的全方位數位流DAC.
5.精準的音質模擬功能
目前MAN301提供純server版本,以供家中已擁有Hi-End等級的DAC用家使用.另外MAN301的含DAC版本,其解碼表現則較DAC202還佳.並且可以使用filter來依據聽者的喜好,調整適當的音質.Weiss預計在將來的韌體更新裡,加進character的功能.預設多種聲音的character,讓用家可以選擇高階黑膠唱盤,或真空管機的character,讓聆聽變得更具彈性與趣味性.這可不是市售mp3那種廉價EQ.而是Weiss運用精密工程計算得出的模擬解碼輸出.一機多聲.將是Hi-End產品中的劃時代創舉.
《音響論壇》報導:[剖析]Weiss MAN301音樂資料庫播放機，最理想的數位流訊源典型 | | 定價：412000 售價：call | | Jason |  | 產品說明:
The JASON CD Transport is an addition to our already famous MEDEA D/A Converter. The design and electronics are of the same high quality in both units. We included many features in the JASON which make it the CD Transport of choice not only in conjunction with the MEDEA but for all kinds of D/A Converters or Digital Amplifiers.
Mechanics
The JASON uses a high-quality top-loader transport system. A heavy-duty motor driven lid protects the CD and also safely puts the puck onto the CD upon closure. The chassis is of the same quality as the Medea chassis, a dual design with a inner chassis made of steel and an aluminium outer chassis. The feet are resonance absorbing types of our own design.
Upsampling
The JASON contains an upsampler feature which allows to upsample the basic 44.1kHz / 16Bit data stream from the CD to 88.2 kHz or 176.4 kHz for subsequent D/A conversion. For the upsampling we use our proven algorithms used by many of our professional studio customers.
Wordlength Reduction
The upsampling process has the effect of generating a wordlength longer than 16 Bits, in the JASON a 40 Bit Floating Point format is generated. In order to output the upsampled signal, it is reduced in its wordlength to fit the standard AES/EBU or S/PDIF formats. This wordlength reduction uses the POW-R # 3 algorithm, which is one of the best wordlength reduction schemes, widely used in Pro Audio equipment. The output wordlength can be selected between 16, 20 and 24 Bits, which allows to hook up a wide variety of D/A converters to the JASON.
D/A Converter Enhancement
The JASON uses a specific method (spread spectrum technology) to treat the output signal such that the clocking quality of the subsequent D/A Converter does not have much influence on the audio quality. This allows for the use D/A Converters with non-ideal clocking performance. | | (動態展示中) | 定價：920000 售價：call |
