En single-boks digital musikafspiller med den legendariske dCS Ring DAC kombineret med en højtydende UPnP musikstreamer.
dCS Rossini APEX DAC afspiller igennem gængse industristandarder som USB, AES/EBU og S/PDIF samt streamer fra NAS-drev eller online musiktjenester som TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify Connect eller hvilken som helst Apple-enhed via AirPlay.
En app samt et stærkt brugerinterface gør det muligt at afspille musik fra enhver kilde, på elegant vis; streamingtjenester, digitale input eller UPnP-kilder.
DXD-opsampling er standard, valgfri DSD-opsampling via et udvalg af DSP-filtre tilpasser lyden til enhver smag og musikstil. Streaming sker i op til 24-bit / DSD128 samt DSD DoP og DSD native. dCS Rossini APEX DAC understøtter den effektive 'auto clocking' arkitektur, kendt fra flagskibet dCS Vivaldi, hvilket minimerer jitter og forbedrer lydkvaliteten betydeligt.
Firmware kan opdateres via USB eller automatisk download, hvilket muliggør nye funktioner og optimeret ydelse.
Oplev TIDAL Connect og mere med Mosaic 1.2 (marts 2022)
dCS har opdateret deres Mosaic streaming firmware og kontrolapp, så der er to nye features til dCS ejerne - inklusiv muligheden for at streame musik direkte til deres dCS enhed via TIDAL Connect.

Rossini APEX
Our latest generation Rossini system combines state-of-the-art engineering with exquisite craftsmanship and a timeless aesthetic, delivering a performance that is equal parts detailed and expressive. Choose from an integrated Player or dedicated DAC, CD/SACD Transport and Clock for a unique experience that encapsulates our singular approach to digital playback
The purest expression
Powerful and graceful too, the Rossini renders music with the utmost precision and care, delivering a fluid and natural sound without the slightest hint of harshness or glare. From the softest strings to the sharpest brass, and the quietest intake of breath, it unearths each aspect of a recording to reveal a performance that feels layered, lifelike and whole.
No matter how complex the music, it never loses its composure, or its sense of rhythm and flow, tracking even the swiftest shift in dynamics and pace with a sense of utter control. With its unshakable focus and astonishing insight, it presents a holographic view of a recording, and the atmosphere and space in which a performance takes place.
Designed and hand-assembled at our headquarters in Cambridgeshire, England, the Rossini is born from meticulous craft, exhaustive development and an obsessive attention to detail - a relentless pursuit of musical purity that has inspired us to push the limits of sound reproduction.
Combining robust engineering with an elegant aesthetic, the Rossini is built to withstand even the most intensive use and deliver a truly immersive sound at all levels and outputs. With its flexible, future-proof design, it’s a system that can grow and evolve, delivering a state-of-the-art listening experience for years to come.
An esteemed cohort to our renowned Vivaldi system, it features our proprietary Ring DAC system, digital processing platform, and clocking architecture - a combination of hardware and software that is unrivalled in its sonic and technical performance.
New for 2022, the Rossini APEX benefits from the latest generation dCS Ring DAC APEX hardware. This major upgrade brings a range of measured and sonic improvements, allowing us to further enhance the performance of this much-loved and multi-award-winning system, and provide an even richer experience for listeners.
APEX
APEX is a new, enhanced version of the dCS Ring DAC™: the Digital to Analogue conversion system found inside all dCS DACs. First developed for our professional audio products, this unique system has been subject to continuous development and refinement over the past three decades, and remains renowned for its technical and sonic performance.
With APEX, we've reconfigured the Ring DAC's™ circuit board and developed a new analogue output stage. This has allowed us to further reduce distortion, and increase linearity, resulting in a range of measured and sonic improvements - including an even greater sense of dynamic drive, detail, finesse and vitality.
APEX DAC Key Features
- dCS Ring DAC APEX™ hardware further reduces distortion and improves linearity for enhanced musical performance
- Utilises the latest generation dCS Digital Processing Platform for state-of-the-art measured performance and unrivalled fidelity
- Designed for maximum flexibility by accepting audio data from a variety of digital sources
- Flexible output configuration can be optimised in systems with or without preamplifiers
- Comprehensive clocking architecture plus an auto-clocking mode used in the Vivaldi range improves ease-of-use and minimises jitter
- USB interface allows easy connection to a computer, accepting PCM data at up to 24/384 and DoP (DSD/64 or DSD/128 over PCM)
- Multi-stage regulation ensures sensitive analogue circuitry is unaffected by digital interference
- Separate power circuits for the digital and analogue sections further enhance the purity of the power supply
- Aerospace-grade machined aluminium chassis fitted with tuned acoustic damping panels reduces magnetic effects and vibration
- Features a full MQA™ decoder. This MQA™ implementation is unique, as it is the first opportunity to enable a DAC which, by providing exact rendering to beyond 16x (768 kHz), matches the desired temporal response with very low modulation noise
