dCS Rossini CD/SACD Transport

Rossini uses the very latest dCS Digital Processing Platform and Ring DAC technology, originally developed for the flagship Vivaldi series. Its single FPGA brings improved signal processing and superior flexibility, effectively making it future-proof.

Rossini Transport upsamples CD data to DSD, DSD/128 or DXD (24-bit 352.8 kS/s) and transmits the data over the Dual AES/EBU interface. SACDs are played in their native DSD format, again over the Dual AES/EBU interface. Native CD data is available from 3 PCM outputs (1x AES3 and 2x SPDIF), as is down-sampled SACD data.

The Rossini CD/SACD Transport mechanism features a 2mm steel frame, cast aluminium disc tray and vibration dampening materials delivering excellent performance in rigidity, vibration resistance and resonant-free operation. Electronics have been optimised to ensure extremely low-noise disc reading and the heavily damped mechanics ensure minimum unnecessary servo operation and current draw.

• Utilises the latest generation dCS Digital Processing Platform for state-of-the-art measured performance and unrivalled musical experience
• Plays Red Book CDs in their native 16/44.1 format AND upsamples the data to either DSD, DSDx2 or DXD.
• Plays SACDs in their native DSD format AND downsamples the data to 16/44.1 format.
• Configuration Menu – Ability to save/ restore settings, and EasyPlay improves ease-of-use.
• Improved power supplies give lower running temperature and superior tolerance to AC supply variations.
• Multi-stage power regulation ensures sensitive clock / PLL circuitry is unaffected by digital interference.
• Aerospace-grade machined aluminium chassis fitted with tuned acoustic damping panels reduces magnetic effects and vibration.
