Resources & Reviews
Manufacturer’s website: http://www.dcsaudio.com
In What Hi-Fi?, the Rossini DAC and Master Clock pairing was hailed as “the digital heart your high-end system needs,” offering exceptional detail, dynamic control, and refined organization of complex musical passages.
An in-depth review on Audiophile Style described the Rossini as a “sweet spot” within dCS’s product range—surpassing the Debussy in capability and approaching the performance of Vivaldi, with lush sound and superb tonal realism.
