dCS Rossini CD/SACD Transport – Reference Disc Transport

Your physical music collection deserves extraordinary playback.

The dCS Rossini CD/SACD Transport is a reference-grade digital disc transport engineered to extract the full musical potential of CDs and Super Audio CDs.

Designed for serious music collectors, the Rossini Transport combines a precision dual-laser disc mechanism, advanced digital processing, and a meticulously engineered chassis to deliver exceptional disc playback.

Its sophisticated upsampling architecture allows CD audio to be output in multiple high-resolution formats, including DXD, DSD, and DSDx2 through its Dual AES interface.

For SACD playback, the transport delivers encrypted DSD through its Dual AES connection to a compatible DAC, preserving the high-resolution audio information contained on the disc.

With extensive digital connectivity and external clock compatibility, the Rossini Transport is designed to integrate seamlessly into a reference digital audio system.

Pair it with the Rossini APEX DAC and Rossini Master Clock to create a dedicated three-component digital playback system combining precision disc transport, advanced conversion, network streaming, and clock synchronization.
