About the Medea

The Weiss Engineering Medea is a premium stereo D/A converter designed for ultimate audio fidelity, originally introduced around 2001-2003. It employs advanced digital signal processing with a powerful SHARC DSP for upsampling, jitter attenuation, and de-emphasis, paired with high-performance D/A conversion using Analog Devices AD1853 chipset in mono mode with four converters per channel. The unit features a robust chassis with an inner steel frame for shielding and an outer anodized aluminum body, along with a discrete OP1-BP OP-AMP-based I/V conversion and Class A output stage for low distortion and excellent drive capability. It supports a wide range of digital inputs accepting up to 24-bit/192kHz PCM, with meticulous power supply design including dedicated regulators for minimal noise and crosstalk. Now discontinued, it was praised for its detail retrieval, cleanliness, bass authority, and overall transparency in professional and audiophile reviews.
