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

Uncompromised design

The Vivaldi represents British engineering at its finest. Designed and hand-assembled at our headquarters in Cambridgeshire, England, it is a product of meticulous craft, exhaustive development and an obsessive attention to detail: a relentless pursuit of musical purity that inspired us to reimagine the limits of sound reproduction.

With the Vivaldi’s creation, we set out to develop a new visual language for dCS. Referencing the signature wave developed for our Paganini and Puccini systems, we developed a distinctive and timeless aesthetic that blends order and precision with artistic expression.

The curves on its fascia represent movement, rhythm, life and natural forms – a nod to our emotional connection with music and the sound that inspires us to create – while its understated top and side panels, streamlined controls and ordered rear panel help to aid performance and ease of use.

Each model is encased in aerospace-grade aluminium – a material chosen for its acoustic properties – and fitted with internal acoustic damping panels to reduce mechanical vibration and magnetic effects. Panels are sculpted using state-of-the-art milling machines and treated with a smooth and durable pearlescent coating.

From its external casework to the unique software and hardware deep within its core, each aspect of the system has been honed and refined to present sound with the lowest possible levels of distortion and noise – providing a robust architecture that delivers an outstanding experience no matter how you choose to use it.

Crafted from the finest materials, and built to exacting standards, each system is exhaustively tested and inspected prior to leaving our factory to ensure it delivers the utmost reliability and the finest possible sound.
