Angeboten wird „Bartok 2.0“ von DCS als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9001170161 endet am 27.08.2026 um 06:11 Uhr.
At €9,600, this sits just above the €9,388 median of your 4 recent comparables and inside the middle of the market, so it reads as fair pricing rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask. It’s also comfortably within the recent spread between €8,700 and €10,927, which suggests the seller is not out of line for the model.
That makes it a sensible buy if the unit is clean and complete, because this is a highly regarded DAC/streamer with excellent transparency, timing, and a genuinely refined digital presentation. For a buyer, the upside is mainly in condition and provenance: original packaging, remote, and a careful owner matter here, while any missing accessories or service history gaps would be worth checking before you commit.
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.
