This €14,900 asking price for the used dCS Vivaldi Upsampler Plus sits just below the 75th percentile of €16,760 but remains comfortably above the median of €10,692, marking it as a fair, market-aligned offer for a well-regarded digital hub rather than a bargain. While external listings show used prices ranging from roughly €11,500 to €20,000 depending on condition and region, this specific listing aligns solidly with the upper-middle tier of recent EUR comparable data.
The Vivaldi Upsampler Plus is a top-tier digital-to-digital converter that excels at sample-rate conversion and acts as the central hub for high-end dCS systems, delivering pristine timing and depth. At this fair price, it represents a strong buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking the original Vivaldi sound without the €30,500+ new MSRP, especially if the unit is in the stated “good” condition with original accessories included. No material caveats apply here; this is a clean entry into a legendary digital front end.
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.
