Overview
dCS Vivaldi Upsampler – Reference Network Streamer & Digital Upsampler
The ultimate digital music hub for the Vivaldi system.
The dCS Vivaldi Upsampler combines three essential functions in one sophisticated component: a high-performance network streamer, a digital-to-digital converter, and an advanced upsampling engine.
Designed to connect your entire digital music collection, the Vivaldi Upsampler provides access to streaming services, network storage, computers, and external digital sources while preparing audio for the exceptional conversion capabilities of the Vivaldi APEX DAC.
Its advanced digital processing architecture converts incoming audio from its native sample rate to high-resolution PCM, DXD, or DSD, giving listeners greater flexibility in how their music is processed and reproduced.
With extensive connectivity and seamless integration into the Vivaldi ecosystem, the Upsampler provides a powerful foundation for modern digital music playback.
Whether you're streaming a new release, exploring a high-resolution music library, or connecting a traditional digital transport, the Vivaldi Upsampler brings every source together in a single reference-quality component.
