What's the difference between the Weiss DAC2 and the DAC202? Here are links to each:

From what has been said, actually there is a lot of difference.

 

The DAC202 was (if I understand right) a pretty much complete ground up redesign from the DAC2 / Minerva. There are more differences in the design than similarities. In the obvious parts - the DAC202 has a comprehensive front panel display, remote control and Word Clock In and Out. It also has a redesigned analogue section (probably the most important part of a DAC).

Anyone heard these back to back yet or even the 202 along side the Medea?

The 202 is a completely new ground up design, different chip config and output stage, it is better than the dacII, you really need to hear them side by side, for a valid comparison and of course vfm judgements kick in, the Medea will receive a complete overhaul soon.
