Rossini CD/SACD Transport
With the Rossini transport, you can experience stunning sound from CDs or SACDs, upsampling CD data to high-resolution DSD, DSD/128 or DXD for even greater resolution and detail, or playing both CDs and SACDs in their native formats. An additional downsampling option is also available for SACD data.

Features:
- Utilises the latest generation dCS Digital Processing Platform for state-of-the-art measured performance and unrivalled musical experience.
- Plays Red Book CDs in their native 16/44.1 format AND upsamples the data to either DSD, DSDx2 or DXD.
- Plays SACDs in their native DSD format AND downsamples the data to 16/44.1 format.
- Configuration Menu – Ability to save/ restore settings, and EasyPlay improves ease-of-use.
- Improved power supplies give lower running temperature and superior tolerance to AC supply variations.
- Multi-stage power regulation ensures sensitive clock / PLL circuitry is unaffected by digital interference.
- Aerospace-grade machined aluminium chassis fitted with tuned acoustic damping panels reduces magnetic effects and vibration.
Specifications:
- Type: Upsampling CD/SACD Transport
- Colour: Silver or Black
- Mechanism: Dual laser CD/SACD mechanism
- Dimensions: 444mm (17.5”) long x 435mm (17.2”) deep x 178mm (7.0”) high. Allow extra depth for cable connectors. Allow space for air flow around the unit

- Clock Accuracy: The calibration accuracy when shipped is +/-10ppm, (not temperature compensated)
- Software Updates: Updates are loaded directly from CD-R
- Local Control: dCS Universal Remote (supplied with Rossini Transport as standard. Via the Mosaic app, RS232 app or a third party device)
- Power Supply: Factory set to either 100, 115/120, 220 or 230/240V AC, 50/60Hz
