dCS hi-fi systems are high end – a combination of world-class craftsmanship and leading-edge technology
Data Conversion Systems Ltd Description
dCS believes that the role of a hi-fi system is to preserve all of the subtle information on a recording through the reproduction chain, and present it to the listener with every last nuance of emotional content intact.
One of the most important parts of the music reproduction process is digital-to-analogue conversion, when the digital data on a CD or computer file is converted into an analogue signal – the music we hear through the loudspeakers.
It is this process that dCS has been refining for twenty five years and, by making the world’s most advanced digital-to-analogue converters (DACs), master clocks and digital-to-digital converters (D2D), we can make Compact Discs or computer music files sound more faithful to the original recording than anything else.
Over the years dCS has demonstrated to music lovers worldwide that by separating the key functions of the digital playback chain, huge sonic benefits and extraordinary musicality can be achieved.
For this reason a typical dCS reference system can comprise up to four separate units: Upsampling CD /SACD Transport, Digital-to-Digital Converter, Digital-to-Analogue Converter and Master Clock.
The positive contribution that each makes to the overall musical performance can easily be heard. All dCS products express the same values of musical and technical excellence and, by utilising the same key technologies across our ranges, we can be sure that whatever the source, the musical performance is guaranteed.
dCS products are high end – a combination of world-class craftsmanship and leading-edge technology – but those who invest in dCS have the chance to experience that unique, spine-tingling moment when the world stops and there is…

End to End Excellence: The People Behind the Product Mat Taylor, dCS Product Manager
“I’ve always liked music,” says dCS Product Manager Mat Taylor, “because my Dad used to drag me along to see The Sisters of Mercy. That was quite an upbringing for someone who spent their childhood in the sleepy county of Buckinghamshire, around Aylesbury. “Yes, my Dad influenced me and directed me onto certain music I shouldn’t really have been listening to. But I was always fascinated by so...

dCS 'Only the Music' Classical Choices January 2019 Curated by Charlotte Gardner
When it came to choosing my first “older” Only the Music choice of 2019 it was very clear which route I'd be taking. Fresh in my memory as I type is the recent launch of Venus Unwrapped, the concert series at London's King's Place which will spend the next eleven months throwing a light on the achievements of women composers. That opening event saw soprano Mary Bevan and m...

Every Christmas there’s a mini ‘silly season’ where stories that normally wouldn’t make it to the top of the news reports find themselves elevated to headline status. This festive period saw the plight of HMV being discussed at length on television and in the newspapers, as the company announced its intention to enter administration on 28 December 2018, after poor trading in the weeks leading up to Christmas. This is the second time in five years that HMV Group p...

Blur - Parklife
Pop music is here today and gone tomorrow – which is why it so powerfully embodies its time. Twenty five years after Parklife was released, Blur’s third album does precisely this – it’s a musical time capsule that whisks the listener back to British cultural life, circa 1994. Although not quite a top tier album in the great scheme of musical things, it’s still an interesting and enjoyable fifty minutes that shows this fine Britpop band at its creative height. ...

dCS Classical Choices December 2018 - Curated by Charlotte Gardner
Christmas has to be the most exciting time of the year for music, what with all the wonderful repertoire you're technically only allowed to listen to during December. In fact don't expect to hear very much music in the Gardner household that isn't Christmassy once the first of the month has dropped, and for my older recording this month I've chosen the musical work most attached to my own family's Advent trad...
