About the software

dCS products make extensive use of software configurable chips – FPGAs and DSPs. This
gives us the ability to update our products to add extra features, update digital interface
standards or make performance improvements by loading new software. Occasionally, a
hardware upgrade may be necessary also to increase the "capacity" of the electronics, add extra
connectors or extra front panel controls.
Please note that not all software updates produce an audible improvement. We recommend that
you keep your software up to date. Check the dCS web-site occasionally for news of the latest
software updates.
This manual is for Bartók DAC software version 2.0x.

16-bit data: Better than –96dB0, 20Hz - 20kHz unweighted.
24-bit data: Better than –113dB0, 20Hz - 20kHz unweighted.
Optional 1-bit 2.822 or 3.07MS/s upsampling (set in the menu) to supplement the
multi-stage PCM oversampling.
Better than –105dB0, 20Hz - 20kHz.
Better than –115dB0, 20Hz - 20kHz.
1 stereo balanced pair on 2x 3-pin male XLR connectors (pin 2 = hot, pin 3 = cold).
These outputs are electronically balanced and floating, the signal balance ratio at
1kHz is better than 40dB. Output impedance is 3Ω, maximum load is 600Ω (a 10kΩ
- 100kΩ load is recommended).
1 stereo unbalanced pair on 2x RCA Phono connectors. Output impedance is 52Ω,
maximum load is 600Ω (a 10kΩ - 100kΩ load is recommended).
Output levels are 6V, 2V, 0.6V or 0.2V rms or a full-scale input, set in the menu.
444mm (17.5") wide x 430mm (17.0") deep x 115mm (4.6") high. Allow extra depth
for cable connectors. Allow space for air flow around the unit.
16.7kg (36.8lbs).
Internally set to either 100, 115/120, 220 or 230/240V AC, 50/60Hz.
Power consumption: 25W typical, 50W maximum.
Consumes less than 0.5W when powered down from the front panel.
