The new network music player from dCS

Lina DAC X is the latest addition to the dCS product range: a network music player that offers outstanding sound and convenient access to a vast catalogue of music…

Lina DAC X is designed for listeners who want the convenience of digital playback combined with a deeply natural and immersive listening experience.

It delivers the same range of features as the award-winning Lina Network DAC, along with some additional benefits, including a physical volume dial, IR Remote Control, support for hi-res streaming via QQ Music, and the option to connect to CD/SACD Transports for silver disc playback.

A full featured network player, Lina DAC X supports hi-res streaming from all major platforms including TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify and QQ Music, as well as music management software such as Roon, Audirvana and JPLAY.

It also features a range of physical inputs to support playback from numerous sources, including TVs (via TOSLINK), computers, CD transports and servers.

The DAC X can be connected to any amplifier, including directly to power amplifiers or active speakers, to create a complete music playback system.

Its flexible architecture provides huge scope for future upgrades, allowing you to enhance performance and add new features over time.

This is a core part of the dCS experience, with listeners receiving free of charge product upgrades through simple internet updates.

Sonically, it offers exceptional clarity and detail retrieval, bringing listeners a profoundly natural and deeply musical sound.

This is made possible with unique dCS technologies including the Ring DAC – their bespoke Digital-to-Analogue conversion system – and Digital Processing Platform.

The DAC X is encased in a full-width chassis machined from solid billet aluminium, which serves to further enhance performance, and uses flex-rigid circuitry for optimal audio quality and reliability.

Its understated aesthetic complements all manner of spaces and setups, from family living areas to dedicated listening rooms, whilst its superb build quality and meticulous craftsmanship reflects their uncompromising attention to detail.

As with all dCS products, Lina DAC X is hand-assembled and tested at their Cambridgeshire headquarters, so they can ensure it is built to exacting standards and performs to the highest

dCS

dCS Founded in Cambridge, UK, by a group of expert electronic engineers, Data Conversion Systems originally designed and manufactured high performance analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analogue converters (DACs) for major telecommunications companies and military agencies, whose primary requirement was technology that delivered state-of-the-art precision, linearity and reliability. Their success in this field meant that dCS quickly became known for the performance of its converters and so, recognising in the late nineteen eighties that this technology had a key role in music recording and playback, the company decided to concentrate on developing products for the recording industry. While the focus had changed, their commitment to producing systems of unrivalled accuracy had not, and consequently their products were – and still are – used by some of the world’s most successful recording studios and personnel. dCS recruited some of the smartest and most creative digital audio engineers in the world, and the company evolved into producing digital hi-fi sources which let music lovers enjoy sound of unrivalled quality in their own home. This focus on Research & Development also resulted in a range of proprietary dCS technologies of which the most significant is the legendary dCS Ring DAC™. Their products continue to set new standards of performance in terms of both objective test measurements and subjective listening Performance Matters At dCS they care deeply about meeting their own uncompromisingly high standards. They hope their products stir a passion for music that lasts a lifetime and their greatest success is that products become invisible, leaving you the listener with only the music. Delighted customers and industry recognition have followed them too. Over the last quarter of a century dCS has amassed a wealth of awards
