Angeboten wird „Rossini clock“ von DCS als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Wordclock Generatoren“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5339626204 endet am 15.07.2026 um 13:56 Uhr.
At €5,500, this sits in the fair-to-good zone for a used dCS Rossini Clock if it’s complete and truly in good condition. New pricing for dCS clocking gear is far higher, and used examples tend to hold value, so this doesn’t read as a bargain-bin find — but it also isn’t obviously inflated for a desirable, current-generation reference clock.
What makes it worthwhile is the usual dCS payoff: tighter timing, better image focus, cleaner transients, and a more composed, “locked-in” presentation with compatible digital kit. The clock itself is a straightforward buy if the seller has the correct cables, power supply, and proof it’s been used in a clean system. At this price, I’d mainly want confirmation of proper operation and all accessories, since a missing lead or uncertain history would matter more than cosmetic wear.
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.
