The dCS Lina DAC X Streaming Music Player is the latest evolution in the esteemed dCS Lina series, designed for audiophiles who demand both uncompromising sonic performance and seamless integration into a traditional two-channel audio system. Building upon the acclaimed capabilities of the original Lina Network DAC, the Lina DAC X now presents a full-width chassis, matching the aesthetic and footprint of conventional high-end audio components, and notably incorporates a tactile, physical volume dial and IR remote control for intuitive stand-alone operation as a digital pre-amplifier.

At its core, the Lina DAC X harnesses dCS’s proprietary Ring DAC™ and advanced Digital Processing Platform, delivering bit-perfect, ultra-high-resolution digital-to-analog conversion with exceptional clarity, detail, and a profoundly natural sound. It supports PCM up to 24 bit/384 kHz and DSD128, along with full MQA decoding. As a versatile network music player, it offers integrated streaming from all major platforms including Roon, TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, and more. A comprehensive suite of digital inputs—including USB, AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and optical—ensures compatibility with a vast array of digital sources, from computers to CD transports. Crafted with dCS’s signature precision, including flex-rigid circuitry and a robust, acoustically damped solid billet aluminum chassis, the Lina DAC X is engineered for optimal performance and built to last. It offers flexible output voltages via balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA, allowing direct connection to power amplifiers or active speakers, making it a powerful and elegant centerpiece for any high-end audio system.

- Built in streamer supports hi-res streaming from all major platforms - including Spotify, Qobuz, TIDAL & QQ Music
- Extensive range of digital inputs supports playback from TVs (via TOSLINK), computers, servers, CD transports & more
- Flexible output voltages and volume control allow connection to any type of amplifier, including directly to power amplifiers or active speakers
- Flexible architecture provides unlimited scope for new features, upgrades and enhancements
- Single flex-rigid PCB design – unique to dCS in audio, and also seen in the dCS Varèse Music System – ensures clean signal path and optimal performance
- dCS Ring DAC™ preserves all aspects of musical signal - including low-level detail - whilst reducing noise and distortion to vanishing levels
