DCS Vivaldi Apex DAC

'With total precision and calmness, the Vivaldi unraveled even the most complex recordings with ease, in which a sound is projected that feels completely natural and beautifully complete. Music comes to life under his delicate hand and invisible touch, whereby each note unfolds to reveal a panoramic image of a recording or mix.

From the smallest bends to the fastest shifts in pace and tone, it all catches it with a feeling of perfect rhythm and flow. With its broad and far -reaching view, it not only reveals the fine details in a recording, but also the silences and spaces in between - the tension, the drama and the emotions underneath.

The Vivaldi is made for the purest musical expression and is designed to disappear, so that you merge with the sound and is immersed in the world that an artist creates. The groundbreaking architecture builds on three decades of innovation to present our most ambitious system to date: a design with four chassis with almost unlimited possibilities.

With the launch of the Vivaldi we have devised a blueprint for a new generation of digital playing systems. We have reinvented our core technologies - including our Ring DAC ™ system, clock architecture and the DCS Digital Processing Platform - and a new technical DNA that has since formed the creation of every DCS product.

Unparalleled in its sonic and technical capacities, the Vivaldi has gained worldwide fame for its groundbreaking design and fascinating sound. A product of visionary thinking and fearless technology, it remains the most revealing play system with the least distortion that is available - and the design continues to evolve.

With the Vivaldi Apex we have again reclaimed state-of-the-art in digital audio. We have further improved the Vivaldi DAC with the addition of our next generation Ring DAC Apex ™ hardware. This important upgrade enables us to raise the leading performance from the Vivaldi to a new level - which results in an even more compelling musical experience '

In combination with the DCS Vivaldi Upsampler/network player, the Vivaldi Apex DAC becomes a complete network player. Possibly still to be completed with the DCS Vivaldi MasterClock.
