Dragon Audio Cable Recommendation:
We recommend pairing the dCS Rossini Master Clock with the Silver Dragon Coax Digital Cable with Furutech BNC Connectors, as well as powering the unit with the Black Dragon Power Cable. The Silver Dragon Coax Digital Cable is a pure Silver 75ohm digital cable that's perfect for connecting the Rossini Master Clock to audio devices with word clock inputs. Connect it to Streaming DACs, Amplifiers, CD Players, and more. The Silver Dragon is fairly flexible and makes bends fairly easily, but make sure to never kink the cable as it will introduce jitter. The Black Dragon Power Cable is the ultimate power cable designed to be dead quiet and reject all EMI and RFI interference. 4-11Awg Stranded high purity slow drawn Copper conductors are used per cable in a star Quad configuration. The cable has a single 100% coverage shield but can be doubled up for noisy environments plus it is relatively flexible.
Highly Flexible CD/SACD Transport with Limitless Potential
The dCS Rossini CD/SACD Transport is a flexible HiFi component with a plethora of digital audio outputs: Three AES/EBU outputs, two of which are dedicated for dual-AES operation for high-resolution PCM and DSD data; and two S/PDIF outputs, one on an RCA jack and the other on a BNC jack. Adding the dCS Rossini Master Clock is a breeze thanks to the Word Clock input and output BNC jacks on the back panel of the Rossini Transport. The Rossini Master Clock will rework any timing errors and jitter so your CDs and SACDs are perfectly played each and every time.
Without a dedicated internal DAC, the Rossini CD/SACD Transport will benefit from the addition of an external DAC and there is no better pairing than the Rossini APEX DAC/Network Streamer. A part of the dCS Rossini series, the Rossini APEX DAC/Network Streamer allows you to play music from online streaming services so you can easily bounce between physical media and digital.
With the Rossini CD/SACD Transport, you can experience stunning sound from CDs or SACDs, upsampling CD data to high-resolution DSD, DSD/128 or DXD for even greater resolution and detail, or playing both CDs and SACDs in their native formats. An additional downsampling option is also available for SACD data.
Timeless dCS Design
The dCS Rossini CD/SACD Transport brings together three decades of dCS engineering expertise and pioneering technologies in a distinctive, elegant and streamlined design. Drawing inspiration from our dCS' Vivaldi range, it offers a unique aesthetic that's sure to stand out in your audiophile setup.
The curves on the front chassis represent movement, rhythm, life and natural forms - What dCS says is a nod to our listeners' emotional connection with music and the sound quality that inspires us to create. The top and side panels, streamlined controls, and rear panel aid performance and ease of use.
The Rossini CD/SACD Transport is encased in aerospace-grade aluminum, a lightweight material chosen for its acoustic properties, and fitted with internal acoustic damping panels to reduce mechanical vibration and magnetic effects. Panels are sculpted using state-of-the-art milling machines and treated with a smooth and durable pearlescent coating.
From the intentional craftsmanship of the chassis to the hardware and software running deep within its core, each aspect of the Rossini CD/SACD Transport has been refined to deliver the purest sound with the lowest possible distortion in a high-end home audio setup.
