CLEARANCE SALE: dCS Rossini Master Clock - Precision Reference Clock | Ex-Demo

Save 22% on the precision timepiece that transforms digital excellence. The dCS Rossini Master Clock is the Grade 1 reference clock that elevates an already exceptional Rossini system into an entirely new performance realm. This is your opportunity to secure the final piece of the digital audio puzzle at £2,255 below retail price.

At the heart of every world-class digital system lies precise timing, and the Rossini Master Clock delivers this with aerospace-grade engineering. Built around dual crystal oscillators with microcontroller-enhanced temperature correction, this isn't just another word clock—it's the accumulated wisdom of dCS's decades-long pioneering work in digital audio timing. The sophisticated multi-stage Phase-Locked-Loop system sets world-beating standards for jitter control, ensuring every musical sample arrives at precisely the right moment.

This ex-demonstration unit has been professionally maintained in our reference system, allowing discerning clients to experience firsthand how a proper master clock transforms digital playback. What Hi-Fi found it took "no more than a minute to be convinced" of its dramatic impact, noting performance "goes up a level or two" with gains in precision, solidity and transparency. The aerospace-grade aluminium chassis with tuned acoustic damping panels ensures the sensitive clock circuitry remains completely isolated from vibration and interference.

The genius lies in its implementation—three separate clock outputs operating at different frequencies mean your entire digital chain can be optimised regardless of source. Whether streaming high-resolution files, playing CDs, or working with computer audio, the auto-clocking mode ensures perfect synchronisation whilst minimising jitter. The microcontroller system provides more stable frequency correction than even oven-controlled oscillators or atomic clocks, maintaining reference-quality timing across all operating conditions.

Your Opportunity

Originally £10,250, now £7,995—this represents exceptional value for what industry experts consider essential to unleashing the Rossini's full potential. Hi-Fi+ confirms "there is no going back to a Rossini on its own" after experiencing the clock's contribution. For the serious digital enthusiast, this isn't an upgrade—it's the completion of a reference-calibre system at a fraction of the usual investment.

Key Features

• Dual crystal oscillators with advanced microcontroller temperature compensation
• Three independent clock outputs configurable for any digital source combination
• Auto-clocking mode seamlessly manages 44.1kHz and 48kHz frequency families
• Multi-stage voltage regulation isolates sensitive PLL circuitry from interference
• Aerospace-grade construction with tuned acoustic damping for ultimate stability
• Universal compatibility via industry-standard 75-ohm Word Clock connections

Sound Quality

The transformation is immediate and profound. Reviewers describe the clock as ensuring "jitter-free digital signal processing" that takes the system's presentation to extraordinary heights. Music gains newfound authority and three-dimensional presence, with instruments and voices occupying their own clearly defined space. The timing precision translates into superior bass definition, more natural decay of notes, and an overall sense of musical flow that makes extended listening sessions more engaging. This isn't subtle audiophile tweaking—it's a wholesale elevation of digital performance.
