The
dCS Delius
is derived from our award winning
dCS Elgar Plus
, the world’s
first 24/192-DSD audiophile D/A converter.
Delius
has been designed to closely
approach the ultimate performance level of
Elgar Plus
, consistent with a lower
parts cost.
All
dCS
DACs feature our patented
dCS Ring DAC
technology. This unveils the
intricate low level musical detail that is
dCS’
hallmark.
Delius
will accept digital data at 44.1kS/s from your CD player and interpolate
the 16 bits, giving your CD collection a new lease of life.
Delius
will also convert
24 bit 96kS/s data from DVD players, revealing the increased depth and
spaciousness inherent in the more complex source information. With the current
software version,
Delius
also has the ability to act as a master clock for your
transport, increasing the clocking precision of the overall system.
Units fitted with the IEEE 1394 interface option can convert DSD data (a single
bit data stream, sampled at 2.822MS/s) from a suitably equipped Upsampler or
SACD player to extra wide-band audio, taking advantage of the extended
bandwidth inherent in the DSD format.
All
dCS
DACs use the same digital processing engine running the same DSP
code
.
The extensive use of programmable logic makes
dCS
products extremely
flexible and easy to upgrade. You can load updated
Delius
software from a
dCS
CD using a CD player, or
dCS
service agents can download software to the
SUC port, using a PC.
