English version
The dCS Delius is derived from our award winning dCS Elgar Plus, the world's
first 24/192-DSD audiophile D/A converter. Delius has been designed to closely
approach the ultimate performance level of Elgar Plus, consistent with a lower
parts cost.
All dCS DACs feature our patented dCS Ring DAC technology. This unveils the
intricate low level musical detail that is dCS' hallmark.
Delius will accept digital data at 44.1kS/s from your CD player and interpolate
the 16 bits, giving your CD collection a new lease of life. Delius will also convert
24 bit 96kS/s data from DVD players, revealing the increased depth and
spaciousness inherent in the more complex source information. With the current
software version, Delius also has the ability to act as a master clock for your
transport, increasing the clocking precision of the overall system.
Units fitted with the IEEE 1394 interface option can convert DSD data (a single
bit data stream, sampled at 2.822MS/s) from a suitably equipped Upsampler or
SACD player to extra wide-band audio, taking advantage of the extended
bandwidth inherent in the DSD format.
All dCS DACs use the same digital processing engine running the same DSP
code. The extensive use of programmable logic makes dCS products extremely
flexible and easy to upgrade. You can load updated Delius software from a dCS
CD using a CD player, or dCS service agents can download software to the
SUC port, using a PC.
