Hi All,

I went over the dCS yesterday to run through everything ahead of our Boys Toys Day II event this Saturday and to make sure there is plenty of parking, which there really is, so that is great news. I also had a look round, I really think everyone will enjoy the dCS part of the day, firstly there will be a factory tour to see how dCS make their world glass products, then you will be taken into their new demo room, to be fair this is where I spent the most time yesterday, it really is excellent, if I had the money I think this would be the system I would buy :-) Here you will hear around 4 tracks that will really show of this system, once everyone has had a listen if anyone wants an extended listen please let us know and we can arrange that.

Outside there will be food on hand and also the Gin tasting, careful here though as we can’t get too carried away with the Gin, although maybe we could sleep in the demo room if it starts flowing too well :-)

We will head of to dCS around 11.30am from HiFi Lounge, it is around a 30 minute drive away, but before then we will have the new Naim room running with the Wilson Audio Sabrina’s and in our Highend Room we will be running dCS Rossini into Audio Research Reference Pre/Power then Wilson Audio Yvette’s so almost an appetiser for the main event at dCS, but please make sure you go in for a listen before we head off to dCS, Pedro from Absolute Sounds will be on hand with any questions you may have.

Anyway, more importantly I still haven’t got the Esprit back from the garage, nothing like cutting it fine.

Here are a few teaser shots of dCS’s excellent demo room.

That looks very like the DCS system I heard at the Whitlebury Hall show.

So what are all those dCS boxes? Are some of them amplifiers?

I don't think any are amps. They are all Dacs, or transports, or external clocks etc.

Yup, separate transport, word clock, upsampler and DAC. Totally unnecessary from a performance perspective, but hey, it looks serious, and costs serious.
