{"title":"dCS","description":"Founded in Cambridge, UK, by a group of expert electronic engineers, Data Conversion Systems originally designed and manufactured high performance analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analogue converters (DACs) for major telecommunications companies and military agencies, whose primary requirement was technology that delivered state-of-the-art precision, linearity and reliability. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e dCS quickly became known for the performance of its converters and so, recognising in the late nineteen eighties that this technology had a key role in music recording and playback, the company decided to concentrate on developing products for the recording industry.  While the focus had changed, their commitment to producing systems of unrivalled accuracy had not, and consequently their products were – and still are – used by some of the worlds most successful recording studios and personnel.","products":[{"product_id":"dcs-rossini-apex-upsampling-cd-player-network-streamer","title":"dCS Rossini Apex Upsampling CD Player \/ Network Streamer","description":"The new dCS Rossini Apex Player makes superlative sounding music from a wide range of digital sources, simply integrating your digital music and setting the performance standard for digital playback.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis single-box digital music player features the legendary dCS Ring DACTM and signal processing platform, plus a custom high performance UPnP music streamer and CD transport.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nRossini plays music through an array of industry-standard USB, AES and S\/PDIF digital inputs, and can stream over Ethernet from a NAS drive or online music services such as TIDALTM, SpotifyTM and DeezerTM, and from Apple devices via AirplayTM.

Featuring three separate clock outputs capable of outputting different frequencies, Rossini Master Clock allows Rossini DAC or Player users to benefit from the auto clocking mode in Rossini and optimise audio from various digital sources in a simple, fuss free way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIn a digital audio system, samples must be accurately transferred at the correct time. Instability in the sample timing is called jitter – this exists in all digital systems. Severe jitter results in timing errors in the delivery of data to the DAC, causing the analogue signal to be reconstructed inaccurately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIn a dCS system, the DAC can act as the system master clock, but listening tests have shown that there is no substitute for a high quality, dedicated master clock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\ndCS pioneered the use of external clocks in digital audio systems. Our clocking technology has been continually refined so that our latest multi-stage Phase-Locked- Loop (PLL) system sets world-beating standards for accuracy and control of troublesome jitter from the incoming audio stream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAll dCS Master Clocks are subjected to rigorous in-house testing. The crystal oscillators are pre-aged, selected for long term stability and then individually calibrated over a wide temperature range to ensure consistent optimal performance. Rossini Master Clock uses a sophisticated microcontroller system to ensure smooth frequency correction as the temperature changes, and this approach gives a more stable result than either oven-controlled crystal oscillators or even atomic clocks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAll dCS Master Clocks are designed to generate industry-standard Word Clock over a 75 ohm coaxial cable. Other manufacturers’ equipment that has been designed to accept standard Word Clock can be used with our clocks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWhen listening to digital music through a Rossini system, Rossini Master Clock improves on an already spectacular sound and takes it into an entirely new domain.

Its design offers the fidelity of Class A system with the thermal properties of a Class B - meaning less heat generation, higher efficiency, and none of the crossover distortion problems typically associated with Class B designs. To achieve this, we developed a DC servo system with novel error correction technique, which allows us to maintain a clean signal path and correct incoming voltages at source. This approach provides all of the performance benefits of a Class A system, while also keeping heat - and power usage - under control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \n\n\u003ch3\u003eA perfect companion\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe Lina Headphone Amplifier’s variety of balanced and unbalanced inputs make it a perfect addition to virtually any high-end headfi setup. Buffered and unbuffered options make it compatible with both high and low impedance digital sources, and guarantee the best possible sound from whatever source you choose to connect. Pair with our Lina Network DAC for the ultimate headfi experience, or use it individually with whatever system you desire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoice without compromise\u003c\/h3\u003e\nDifferent kinds of headphones require differing amounts of voltage and current, depending on their efficiency and impedance. The Lina Headphone Amplifier is specifically designed to cope with widely varying loads and deliver an outstanding performance with a huge range of headphones - whatever their individual requirements or characteristics. This is achieved through a range of features and factors, including a low output impedance design, low noise floor, wide dynamic range, and an adjustable gain switch which removes the risk of hiss when listening with highly sensitive equipment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect neutrality\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAll dCS products are carefully engineered to provide the highest level of transparency, and the Lina Headphone Amplifier is no exception. We’ve gone to great lengths to create an amplifier that drives your headphones to the best of their ability, while honouring their unique character - be it neutral, warm, bright, cool, or anything in between. Developed and tested with a variety of headphones, it is an amplifier that preserves and celebrates the sound of your chosen equipment, so you can experience your headphones exactly as the designer or manufacturer intended.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAmbitious engineering\u003c\/h3\u003e\nA truly ‘ground up’ design, the Lina Headphone Amplifier is engineered to deliver the highest levels of performance, quality and reliability.
