Angeboten wird „dCS Bartok including dCS Rossini Clock“ von DCS als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Streaming Transport mit integriertem DAC“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9280277333 endet am 22.07.2026 um 10:58 Uhr.
At €10,500, this dCS Rossini Clock is ambitious compared to the typical used market, sitting well above the database median of €8,137 and exceeding the 75th percentile of €9,407. While external listings show clocks ranging from roughly €4,450 to €11,000, the internal benchmark of €8,137 is the primary anchor, making this asking price roughly €2,360 higher than the median and clearly in the premium tier rather than a bargain.
The Rossini Clock remains a top-tier reference for digital timing, delivering the jitter reduction and sonic stability that elevate any dCS DAC or transport to its full potential. If this unit is in excellent original-owner condition with all cables and accessories included, the premium may reflect that pristine state and rarity, offering a worthwhile upgrade for systems demanding the highest clock accuracy. Buyers should verify the included accessories and condition to ensure the extra cost is justified by the listing’s completeness.
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.
