Bring Hi-Fi Quality to Your Music Streaming
dCS’ Mosaic Platform Provides Easy Access and the Ultimate Audio Quality
Audiophiles have seen audio reproduction revolutionized over the past decade as streaming became one of the primary ways to enjoy classic recordings and discover new music. Unfortunately, for most of that ‘revolution,’ convenience has taken precedence over quality as most audio files were compressed to be easily streamed over the internet.
Some of the audio industry’s biggest players have addressed this challenge head-on. dCS, in particular, is dedicated to bringing digital music to the same high standards as its analog forebears. Their digital-analog converters are some of the best in the industry, and all include the company’s Mosaic platform.
The Mosaic platform delivers a seamless listening experience and unprecedented quality through a trademark combination of hardware and software solutions. As the top dCS dealer serving Westchester, NY, we’d love to show you why it’s a must-have addition for your hi-fi setup.

What is Mosaic?
dCS Mosaic provides an intuitive platform to access your existing collection and explore new music. It is included in all dCS products and is available for both iOS and Android users. Mosaic is composed primarily of two components outlined below: the dCS Mosaic control app and a state-of-the-art processor.
- The App: dCS Mosaic control aims to deliver the best experience no matter which software or control device you use. From one platform, search across multiple music sources and adjust the settings on your dCS system. In addition, create unified playlists featuring recordings from diverse libraries for an uninterrupted listening session.
Easily toggle between your favorite internet radio broadcasts, a curated Spotify playlist or your high-resolution audio files. From the same app, manage volume, signal processing functions and system configurations.
- The Processor: The Mosaic processor enhances the overall functionality of your hi-fi system. Instead of tying you down to an interface you’re not familiar with, it lets you use hi-fi favorite Roon as your media management platform or cast directly from your device using Spotify Connect or Apple Airplay.
Explore the Latest Upgrade
As with all dCS solutions, Mosaic is always evolving. Both the app and processor receive constant updates to improve performance. For example, in 2021, the company responded to user feedback and pushed through an upgrade that enhanced the experience for those using VoiceOver or GoogleTalkBack screen readers.
The latest firmware update brings TIDAL Connect into the mix, making it easier for music lovers to enjoy hi-resolution streaming directly on their dCS systems. Users can play, skip, pause and adjust volume without downloading the Mosaic app–creating a comfortable environment for guests to cast their favorite music when visiting your home.
The latest Mosaic software also allows basic control of dCS transport systems to easily bring standard or Super Audio CDs into the mix via the same platform you use to stream music or access your digital libraries.
