Angeboten wird „Rossini Dac Apex“ von DCS als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Digitale Quellen (CD/DVD/Streamer...)“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6835169298 endet am 06.07.2026 um 00:54 Uhr.
This is a fair ask, just a touch above the median rather than a bargain. At €13,000, it sits above the €12,696 median and above the €12,960 75th percentile only by a small margin, so it reads as a mildly ambitious listing, not an outlier.
That still makes sense for a well-regarded DAC like this: the Rossini is prized for its very refined conversion, top-tier resolution, and the kind of calm, spacious presentation that holds up in serious systems. In good condition, it’s the sort of buy that rewards a careful owner, especially if the listing includes the original remote, packaging, and any current service history.
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.
