Angeboten wird „Rossini (not APEX)“ von DCS als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 715334744 endet am 14.07.2026 um 06:16 Uhr.
This is a strong buyer’s market for the dCS ROSSINI, and the €9,990 asking price is a genuine bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of €12,087 from seven recent EUR comparable listings. With the median at €18,005 and the 75th percentile at €19,132, this listing offers exceptional value—roughly €2,100 under the lowest quartile and nearly €8,000 below the median.
The ROSSINI remains a top-tier DAC/streamer/preamp praised for its seamless streaming, rich tonality, and dCS’s signature analog-like warmth. At this price, it’s a rare opportunity to acquire a flagship-class unit in good EUR condition, likely with original accessories if from an original owner. No caveats apply here: this is a clear buying opportunity for anyone seeking high-end performance without the usual dCS price tag.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
