Angeboten wird „dCS ROSSINI APEX CD PLAYER STREAMER“ von DCS als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „CD Geräte“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6058163976 endet am 07.09.2026 um 22:09 Uhr.
At €18,900, this used dCS ROSSINI (Digital) sits just €99 below the 75th percentile of €18,999 and is very close to the median of €15,960, making it a fair but slightly ambitious price for the current EUR market. It is not a bargain, as it exceeds the median by nearly €3,000, yet it remains well within the typical range and aligns with recent comparable listings like the €19,000 and €19,200 Apex-equipped units seen recently.
The ROSSINI remains a top-tier DAC/streamer praised for its silky analog sound, precise timing, and seamless integration with dCS’s own ecosystem, especially when paired with the Apex upgrade for enhanced resolution. This listing’s “good” condition and original-owner status add meaningful value, offering a clean entry into high-end dCS performance without the compromises of older models. For an enthusiast seeking a refined, modern digital front end, this is a solid buying opportunity at a fair price.

dCS: British Digital Audio Pioneer
dCS (Data Conversion Systems) was established in Cambridge, England in 1987, emerging from a background in advanced signal processing and radar systems for aerospace applications including RAF Harrier and Typhoon aircraft. This foundation in hard science and digital engineering has defined the company's trajectory from electronics consultancy to specialist audio manufacturer. The company transitioned to consumer audio in 1989 with the 900 ADC, an analogue-to-digital converter for professional studios, and by 1996 launched the Elgar, claimed to be the first 24-bit high-resolution DAC for the domestic hi-fi market.
dCS specializes exclusively in digital audio conversion technology, with their product range centered on DACs (digital-to-analogue converters) and associated digital processing components. Every product incorporates the company's proprietary Ring DAC technology, a hallmark of their engineering approach. Rather than diversifying into amplifiers, speakers, or other categories, dCS has maintained singular focus on mastering the conversion and playback of digital audio signals with maximum fidelity.
The brand occupies the ultra-premium, high-end segment of the audio market, positioning itself among the world's most respected specialist manufacturers. All products are hand-assembled in-house at their Cambridge facility by a dedicated team of designers and technicians. dCS commands significant respect among professional recording engineers and discerning audiophiles seeking uncompromising digital audio performance, representing a rare example of a British hi-fi company that has sustained innovation and manufacturing excellence over nearly four decades.
