Weiss MAN301 DAC-B : Streamer/DAC
Playback of music files stored on a hard-disk or via streaming from the Internet has arrived at the audiophile’s home. The MAN301 network player is a powerhouse in terms of features, versatility and sonic quality. Using the professionally maintained Gracenote database for metadata and cover art fetching, the MAN301 has a big edge over competing devices.
The MAN301 is an extremely versatile Music Archive manager and Network Player with an Apple® iPad remote control unit and e.g. a NAS type external storage medium. It is a system for music archiving, music library maintenance, music playback, CD ripping and playback, Internet radio streaming and more.
The latest additions are:
- A gold plated version celebrating our 30 year company anniversary.
- A new D/A circuitry with a discrete output stage and stellar performance.
A complete MAN301 system consists of:
- The MAN301 Base Station.
- An external NAS (Network Attached Storage) device, typically a hard disk or an array of harddisks. This allows for virtually unlimited storage space for music files.
- An iPad device with the Weiss MAN app for remote control of the Base Station.
- A means of accessing the Internet by the Base Station for fetching CD cover art, CD metadata or for streaming music.
For MAN301 configurations which support Roon and/or our DSP algorthms see the FAQ tab below.
