dCS Rossini APEX
Strive for perfection and never follow the trend
Striving for perfection in everything, never blindly following the trend, it is based on the Business Policy that Cambridge dCS (Fully written as: Data Conversion Systems) has been adhering to since its establishment, just as other audio brands are actively negotiating cooperation agreements with decoding chip manufacturers, dCS has begun to study the 5-Bit data processing capabilities, through both sophisticated and complex R2R resistance network way to work Ring DAC digital / analog switching system. Today, dCS productions are regarded as the most valuable monitoring benchmark by professional music producers, Hi-end audiophiles and headphone enthusiasts around the world.
Unlimited upgrade space
There is a very important reason behind the fact that dCS equipment has always been highly respected by players in different fields: unlimited upgrade space, users can continuously add new features and improve sound effects to the equipment through CD discs provided by the factory, download to USB flash fingers with the help of computers, and even automatic firmware download functions. Entering 2022, dCS announced a major update announcement for the four-seater: Ring DAC APEX digital/modulus switching module, which is fully implemented not only in the new generation of Vivaldi Apex DAC Vivaldi Spires decoder, Rossini Apex Player Rossini Spire MONO CD player and Rossini Apex DAC Rossini SPIRE streamer, and promised to arrange replacement of the heart upgrade plan for existing users of the above models, So that these super digital products, which have long been high in the rankings of fever burners around the world, can once again improve their strength and continue to meet the challenges of all sides.
The styling remains consistently stylish
Whether it is the Vivaldi Apex DAC or the Rossini Apex series, the styling design has not changed much from the existing model, and the pre-anodized body components are still hollowed out using aerospace-grade aluminum, creating excellent rigidity. The power supply part also uses two specially customized, sealed ring transformers printed with the word dCS, which cooperate with the high-speed operation of power supply facilities to provide pure energy reserves for each link.
The access interface is as diverse as ever
dCS equipment has always been known for its diversified connection interface, and today the Rossini Apex series is no exception, including coaxial S/PDIF, BNC, AES/EBU, fiber optic Toslink, asynchronous USB A/B type and 1,000 Mbps horizontal Ethernet terminals for flash memory fingers, and home-written MagicApp, which can support NAS, UPnP streaming platform and Apple Airplay, as well as support Online music providers such as TIDAL, Spotify and Deezer. Users can also connect with the same door Rossini CD/SACD Transport CD/SACD upconverter through the dual AES/EBU connection mode, and directly transform the DSD data recorded in the SACD disc into a beautiful music.
Ring DAC APEX digital/modulus switching module
The core of the Rossini Apex series, which belongs to the newly planned Ring DAC APEX digital/analog switching module, not only supports up to 24 Bit / 384 kHz PCM and DSD128 specification files, but also corresponds to Roon Ready and interpretation MQA encoding, 3 Ring DAC data imager (Mappers) operation modes / speed selection, with multi-segment DXD hypersampling, unsurpassed DSD, DSD x2, DXD Up-frequency technology and the assistance of 11 levels of digital filtering (PCM x 6 / DSD x 5) create a high-quality effect for enthusiasts, closer to the original mastering level. The trailing summing stage and the analog output group are also improved accordingly, and the composite pair transistor is replaced as an amplified part, which improves the linearity characteristics by up to 12dB, and the simultaneous resolution force and driving force also show significant input, and the output impedance and overall distortion rate drop to a new low level. On the other hand, Ring DAC APEX has also made targeted enhancements in the power supply link, further blocking AC noise intrusion and fully releasing the superb performance of the R2R working architecture.
Equipped with an audiophile-grade laser pickup movement – Rossini ApexPlayer
In addition to the desired Ring DAC APEX digital / modular switching module and a complete range of connection interfaces, rossiniApex Player "Rossini" spire monomer CD player with increased body height will be equipped with Stream Unlimited JPL-2800 enthusiast laser pickup movement, its software delivery drawer is made of aluminum, and the servo line has been fully modified by the dCS engineering team, and the stability has been fully enhanced. Give users the opportunity to relive the precious software at hand.
