dCS systems preserve the unique colors, textures, intonations, and expressions of your favorite songs

Over the past few decades, digital music sources like CDs and streaming platforms have overtaken analog sources like vinyl records. And while the debate among audiophiles over the quality of analog versus digital sources rages on, most of us can admit we enjoy the convenience of thousands of songs at our disposal on internet streaming services.

If having a sound system that supports high-fidelity digital audio is right up your alley, look no further than dCS. dCS’s pioneering Ring DAC, digital processing platform, and clocking technologies combine to reproduce digital audio with near-perfect fidelity and detail.

Electronic Concepts is a proud dCS dealer in Bergen County, NJ. Keep reading to learn how you can enjoy all your favorite music with a dCS audio system.

High-Resolution Streaming

dCS systems are compatible with multiple high-res streaming services, including Tidal, Deezer, and Qobuz. High-resolution audio is formally defined as “lossless audio that is capable of reproducing the full range of sound from recordings that have been mastered from better than CD quality music sources.”

Most audio files that you listen to are encoded in compressed formats like MP3 to fit onto streaming platforms and storage devices. While MP3 files are small enough for lag-free playback, compressing the audio cuts crucial details that give songs depth and dynamism. In contrast, high-res audio is encoded with less compression, more detail, and more accurate reproduction of the full range of sound as it was recorded in the studio.

dCS systems support all lossless audio formats, including WAV, FLAC, ALAC, DSD, and MQA.

Stored Music Files

dCS systems include USB, AES, and S/PDIF inputs to connect music files stored on personal devices like laptops, desktop computers, recorders, and Blu-ray players. With a dCS system, you’ll bring your carefully cultivated playlists to life with more detailed, nuanced, and accurate sound reproduction than you’ll achieve from a laptop or desktop computer.

CDs

Do you have a pile of CDs around the house but no good way to listen to them? dCS systems are integrated with CD/SACD transport that allows you to listen to the discs you love with high-fidelity playback. You have the option to listen to CDs and SACDs in their native format or upsample CD data to the lossless audio format DSD for better detail and sound accuracy.

Multi-Source Playback With Mosaic

dCS makes it easy for you to store, organize, and control all your music in one place. Mosaic is a dual processor and multi-source playback and control interface that you can use on iOS and Android devices. Not only can you access and control your music sources from the Mosaic app, but you can also adjust and tailor your dCS system settings from the same interface.

Additionally, the Mosaic processor is compatible with Roon for media management, along with Spotify Connect and Apple Airplay for casting music to your dCS system. Finally, Mosaic is scalable over time — both the app and processor can be updated as new functions and features are developed.
