Angeboten wird „Lina Master Clock“ von DCS als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Externe Masterclocks“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1239369084 endet am 08.06.2026 um 19:51 Uhr.
This is a fair ask rather than a bargain or an ambitious price. At €7,000, it sits below the €8,080 median but still above the €6,543 25th percentile, so it’s priced in the lower-middle of the recent used range rather than in true bargain territory.
That makes it a sensible buy if the unit is clean and fully functional, because this is a highly regarded DAC with strong resolving power, low noise, and the sort of transparency that still competes well in serious digital setups. The upside here is straightforward: you’re paying under the market midpoint for a premium piece, so if it has original packaging, proof of service, and no accessory gaps, it looks like a solid enthusiast-level pickup.
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.
