Overview

The dCS Vivaldi Upsampler stands as a pivotal component within the esteemed dCS Vivaldi digital playback system, serving as both a sophisticated digital-to-digital converter and a high-performance network renderer. This meticulously engineered device takes digital audio from any source – be it a CD transport, computer, or network stream – and intelligently upsamples it to ultra-high-resolution formats like DXD (352.8 kHz or 384 kHz) or DSD (2.822 MHz or 5.644 MHz). This process extracts an astonishing level of detail and musicality that was previously unattainable.

Equipped with a comprehensive array of digital inputs including Ethernet (for UPnP streaming with integrated Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, and Roon Ready support), asynchronous USB (for direct computer connection), AES/EBU, SPDIF, and SDIF-2, the Vivaldi Upsampler is truly a universal digital hub. Its advanced dCS Digital Processing Platform, combined with cutting-edge jitter-reduction technologies and improved power supplies, ensures an exceptionally clean and precise digital output signal. Housed in an aerospace-grade machined aluminum chassis and controllable via a full-color front panel, dedicated app, or premium remote, the Vivaldi Upsampler delivers a profoundly immersive and transparent musical experience, setting a benchmark for digital audio performance.

-Utilises the latest generation dCS Digital Processing Platform for state-of-the-art measured performance and unrivalled fidelity
-Designed for maximum flexibility, both input and output configuration can be optimised for systems with various digital sources
-Comprehensive clocking architecture to minimise jitter
-High quality streaming from TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer and internet radio via the dCS Mosaic Control app
-Roon Ready, AirPlay, Spotify Connect and UPnP compatible
-USB, AES, Dual AES and S/PDIF digital audio inputs
-Auto clocking mode, Save/Restore settings, Universal Master Mode, the hiding of inactive inputs, DXD Lock and DSD Feed-through modes improve ease-of-use
-Asynchronous Network and USB interfaces do not use the computer’s jittery clock
-Improved power supplies give lower running temperature and superior tolerance to AC supply variations
-Multi-stage regulation ensures sensitive clock and PLL circuitry is unaffected by digital interference
-Aerospace-grade machined aluminium chassis fitted with tuned acoustic damping panels reduces magnetic effects and vibration
