Product Overview
The dCS 954 DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) is a high performance
converter intended for studio and live recording applications. It is designed to
produce very high standard analogue output from high quality digital data
formats (for example, 192 kS/s or DSD) or standard formats (for example Red
Book CD or 24/96). AES3, SDIF-2 PCM formats and several DSD formats are
all supported. Multiple units may be slaved to a master clock for stable multi-
channel operation.
The unit is mains powered and is housed in a 1U (1.75”) high 19” rack mounting
case. It may be controlled either from its front panel, or from a software based
remote control running on a PC. The last setting is automatically stored on
power down, so that fixed installations may be set up at leisure, installed and
then left alone. Unauthorised alterations to settings may be prevented by a “front
panel lockout” feature.
The unit is highly software based, and more functions and features will be added
from time to time. Software updates from dCS are free!
