The dCS Rossini APEX Player stands as a pinnacle of integrated digital audio, combining an upsampling CD player, network streamer, and the revolutionary dCS Ring DAC™ APEX technology into a single, elegant chassis. This “APEX” iteration signifies a major overhaul of the DAC’s analog output stage and core circuitry, resulting in demonstrably lower noise, enhanced linearity, and a more transparent, dynamically expressive, and musically engaging sound.

The Rossini APEX Player handles all digital music sources with aplomb. Its integral high-quality CD transport allows for pristine silver disc playback, with the option to upsample CD data to high-resolution formats like DXD or DSD. The powerful network streaming platform offers native support for high-resolution PCM (up to 24 bit/384 kHz) and DSD128, seamlessly integrating services like Tidal, Qobuz, and Spotify, and acting as a Roon Ready endpoint. A comprehensive array of digital inputs, combined with sophisticated jitter management and user-selectable upsampling and DSP filters, ensures optimal performance from any source. Controlled by the intuitive dCS Mosaic app and housed in a meticulously machined aerospace-grade aluminum chassis, the Rossini APEX Player is a complete digital front-end system designed to deliver an unparalleled high-fidelity experience.
