dCS Rossini APEX Player

The APEX Player combines a DAC, CD/SACD transport, and network streamer in a single chassis, dCS's all-in-one route into the Rossini range.

It shares the Rossini APEX DAC's modular, upgradable philosophy, in-house Cambridgeshire manufacture, and Ring DAC APEX, Mosaic, and Expanse technologies.

The Master Clock is offered below as a configuration add-on rather than a separate purchase; clock pricing is call-only.
