dCS Vivaldi UPSAMPLER
dCS’ digital-to-digital converter acts as the hub of your system, accessing music from any source and converting audio from its native sample rate to high-resolution DSD, DXD or PCM, providing a complete listening experience with astonishing levels of detail and depth .
Otherworldly Performance
Main Features
- Utilises the latest generation dCS Digital Processing Platform for state-of-the-art measured performance and unrivalled fidelity
- Designed for maximum flexibility, both input and output configuration can be optimised for systems with various digital sources
- Comprehensive clocking architecture to minimise jitter
- Roon Ready, AirPlay, Spotify Connect and UPnP compatible
- USB, AES, Dual AES and S/PDIF digital audio inputs
- Auto clocking mode, Save/Restore settings, Universal Master Mode, the hiding of inactive inputs, DXD Lock and DSD Feed-through modes improve ease-of-use
- Asynchronous Network and USB interfaces do not use the computer’s jittery clock
- Improved power supplies give lower running temperature and superior tolerance to AC supply variations
- Multi-stage regulation ensures sensitive clock and PLL circuitry is unaffected by digital interference
- Aerospace-grade machined aluminium chassis fitted with tuned acoustic damping panels reduces magnetic effects and vibration
