Angeboten wird „dCS ROSSINI APEX CD PLAYER STREAMER“ 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 5088829710 endet am 12.08.2026 um 12:03 Uhr.
This €19,700 asking price is slightly ambitious, sitting just above the 75th percentile of €19,132 and well above the median of €18,005 for recent used dCS ROSSINI (Digital) listings. It’s not a bargain, but it’s within the upper band of the current EUR market, reflecting either pristine condition or a seller who knows the Rossini’s enduring appeal.
The ROSSINI DAC remains a top-tier streaming DAC with dCS’s signature analog warmth, ultra-low distortion, and seamless network integration—still competitive years after launch. Its rise in value is buoyed by rarity in the used market and the fact that many owners upgrade to Apex only when they can, keeping Rossini units in demand. If this one is original-owner, fully accessorized, and in “good” condition as stated, it’s a solid buy for someone who wants dCS performance without the Apex price tag.
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.
