The Next Generation Bartók Apex
Bartók APEX is a distillation of their past, present, and future—30 years of innovation in a single beautiful, flexible, and futureproof chassis embodying the essence of dCS.
Combining a DAC, Music Streamer, Upsampler, Pre-amp, and (optional) Headphone Amplifier, the Bartók APEX offers a singular experience for headphone and stereo listeners.
Now with the APEX Ring DAC, their next-generation DAC hardware, dCS once again redefined the state-of-the-art for digital audio.
This upgrade allows them to take Bartók world-leading measured performance to a new level—technology that provides an even more immersive musical experience.
Arresting sound, ingenious design
The Next Generation Bartók Apex retains the original’s powerful, dynamic and detailed soundscape and adds elements of resolution and refinement previously only achievable with the Rossini or Vivaldi APEX. dCS engineered Bartók APEX to inform and inspire.
APEX sets a new benchmark for transparency.
It organically resolves the finest details and uncovers textures and subtleties that most systems overlook.
From the broadest dynamic swings in volume to the subtlest shifts in tone, Bartók APEX reveals each aspect of a recording with a sense of effortless refinement and control.
Designed and hand-assembled at their headquarters in Cambridgeshire, England, Bartók APEX is born from meticulous craft, exhaustive development, and obsessive attention to detail—a relentless pursuit of musical purity that has inspired us to reimagine the limits of sound reproduction.
