APEX Player
The Integrated player combines a DAC, music streamer and CD Transport in a single, elegant design. Featuring the latest generation dCS Ring DAC APEX, this complete playback system is renowned for its precision, composure and musical purity.
APEX DAC
Designed for complete flexibility and unrivaled musical expression, the Rossini APEX DAC features dCS' pioneering Digital Processing Platform, a high-performance UPnP streamer, and the latest generation Ring DAC APEX.
APEX Master Clock
The Rossini Grade 1 master clock offers world-leading levels of accuracy and jitter control. Paired with our Rossini electronics, it delivers an even greater sense of space, depth and musical realism.
CD/SACD Player
Designed to deliver excellent performance in rigidity, vibration resistance and resonant-free operation, the Rossini Transport offers a stable and near-silent performance that extracts astonishing levels of detail from silver discs.
The Purest Expression
Powerful and graceful too, the Rossini renders music with the utmost precision and care, delivering a fluid and natural sound without the slightest hint of harshness or glare. From the softest strings to the sharpest brass, and the quietest intake of breath, it unearths each aspect of a recording to reveal a performance that feels layered, lifelike and whole.
No matter how complex the music, it never loses its composure, or its sense of rhythm and flow, tracking even the swiftest shift in dynamics and pace with a sense of utter control. With its unshakable focus and astonishing insight, it presents a holographic view of a recording, and the atmosphere and space in which a performance takes place.

THE RING DAC APEX
APEX is a new, enhanced version of the dCS Ring DAC: the Digital to Analogue conversion system found inside all dCS DACs. First developed for their professional audio products, this unique system has been subject to continuous development and refinement over the past three decades, and remains renowned for its technical and sonic performance.
With APEX, dCS has reconfigured the Ring DAC's circuit board and developed a new analogue output stage. This has allowed further reduction of distortion, and increased linearity, resulting in a range of measured and sonic improvements - including an even greater sense of dynamic drive, detail, finesse and vitality.
APEX is implemented in the current line of Rossini DACs and Rossini Players.
