{"title":"dCS: High-End DACs, Upsamplers, and Master Clocks","description":"One of the secrets to dCS’ success is their ability to combine world-class craftsmanship with cutting edge digital technology. Looking at their development of the world’s most advanced digital to analogue converters, master clocks, upsamplers, and the rigorous standards applied to component selection, it's clear that their goal is to always maintain the integrity of the music. To this end, a typical dCS system may consist of several components, all working in harmony to maintain an extraordinary level of musicality.

The network interface can perform full MQA™ decoding and rendering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The DAC section is equipped with independent balanced and unbalanced line outputs that can drive power amplifiers directly, avoiding the need for a separate preamplifier. All of the outputs can be set to one of 4 maximum levels to enhance system compatibility. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Designed for flexibility and ease of use without compromise, Bartók uses the very latest dCS Digital Processing Platform and Ring DAC™ technology, originally developed for the Rossini series. Its single FPGA offers streamlined signal processing and superior flexibility, effectively making it future-proof.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bartók DAC has a powerful new user interface, plus a custom control app that lets listeners manage their music playback from any source in an elegantly simple way – accessing iRadio channels, digital and UPnP sources all from one control point. The Bartók app provides easy access to the DAC settings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Featuring DXD upsampling as standard, the multi-stage oversampling design offers optional DSD upsampling plus an extensive selection of DSP filters to suit individual taste and music choice. The network streaming functionality within Bartók is proven in terms of jitter, ease of use, and sonic performance. The network interface currently runs at up to 24-bit, 384kS\/s and DSD128, supporting all major lossless codecs, plus DSD in DoP format and native DSD.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bartók supports the simple yet highly effective dCS \"auto clocking\" architecture as used in Vivaldi, which minimizes jitter and improves sound quality significantly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Designed and made in Great Britain to the highest standards, Bartók takes its design cues from the award winning Rossini range, using aerospace-grade machined aluminium with internal acoustic damping panels to reduce sound-degrading mechanical vibration and magnetic effects. Multi-stage power regulation is employed, with twin mains transformers to isolate the DAC circuitry from the headphone amplifier. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As with all dCS products, Bartók firmware can be easily updated via CD, USB or the new automated download and update facility.

It handles a multitude of operations, from audio input to the conversion, noise shaping and filtering stages carried out before signals are output to the Varèse Mono DACs. The first dCS product of its kind, it utilizes dCS’s novel ACTUS protocol to radically simplify setup whilst taking sonic and measured performance to new heights. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMONO DACS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Varèse Mono DACs encapsulate dCS’s relentless focus on absolute performance. Driven by a desire to further enhance the sonic and technical capabilities of dCS’s DACs, they embarked on a radical reinterpretation of dCS’s DAC architecture and technologies. They created a dedicated DAC for each audio channel, along with an all-new version of dCS’s renowned dCS Ring DAC hardware. They also devised a patented clocking protocol, dCS Tomix, to ensure perfect synchronicity between the Mono DACs. These innovations have enabled dCS to take their signature ultra-low distortion performance to a new level whilst significantly lowering noise floor, bringing listeners an even more compelling and visceral sonic experience. Discover new depths of detail and emotion in your music, and prepare to fall in love with your favorite recordings all over again, with the sublime capabilities of these extraordinary components. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMASTER CLOCK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Varèse Master Clock brings all the benefits of a dedicated dCS master clock – including improved imaging, focus and presence – to the Varèse Music System.
