dCS Rossini CD/SACD Transport

  • Utilises the latest generation dCS Digital Processing Platform for state-of-the-art measured performance and unrivalled musical experience.

 

  • Plays Red Book CDs in their native 16/44.1 format AND upsamples the data to either DSD, DSDx2 or DXD.

 

  • Plays SACDs in their native DSD format AND downsamples the data to 16/44.1 format.

 

  • Configuration Menu – Ability to save/ restore settings, and EasyPlay improves ease-of-use.
  • Improved power supplies give lower running temperature and superior tolerance to AC supply variations.

 

  • Multi-stage power regulation ensures sensitive clock / PLL circuitry is unaffected by digital interference.

 

  • Aerospace-grade machined aluminium chassis fitted with tuned acoustic damping panels reduces magnetic effects and vibration.
