dCS Ring DAC APEX™ hardware further reduces distortion and improves linearity for enhanced musical performance
Utilises the latest generation dCS Digital Processing Platform for state-of-the-art measured performance and unrivalled fidelity
Designed for maximum flexibility by accepting audio data from a variety of digital sources
Flexible output configuration can be optimised in systems with or without preamplifiers
Comprehensive clocking architecture plus an auto-clocking mode used in the Vivaldi range improves ease-of-use and minimises jitter
USB interface allows easy connection to a computer, accepting PCM data at up to 24/384 and DoP (DSD/64 or DSD/128 over PCM)
The interface runs in asynchronous USB mode, making the DAC immune to jitter from noisy computer master clocks
Improved power supplies give lower running temperature and superior tolerance to AC supply variations
Multi-stage regulation ensures sensitive analogue circuitry is unaffected by digital interference
Separate power circuits for the digital and analogue sections further enhance the purity of the power supply
Aerospace-grade machined aluminium chassis fitted with tuned acoustic damping panels reduces magnetic effects and vibration
Features a full MQA™ decoder. This MQA™ implementation is unique, as it is the first opportunity to enable a DAC which, by providing exact rendering to beyond 16x (768 kHz), matches the desired temporal response with very low modulation noise
