Rediscover your physical media collection. This transport retrieves every bit of data from your CDs and SACDs with incredible precision, delivering a pristine digital signal to your DAC for the ultimate playback experience.
The dCS Vivaldi CD/SACD Transport II is the latest iteration of dCS’s uncompromising approach to silver disc playback, forming a cornerstone of their reference Vivaldi digital audio system. Engineered to extract every last nuance from both Red Book CDs and Super Audio CDs, this dedicated upsampling transport features a meticulously integrated Sound United D&M SACD mechanism, selected for its exceptional rigidity, stable disc rotation, and near-silent operation.
At its core, the Vivaldi Transport II employs the latest generation of dCS’s powerful FPGA-based Digital Processing Platform. This allows it to not only read native CD data but also to simultaneously upsample it to high-resolution formats like DSD, DSDx2, or DXD, delivering this enhanced data to a dCS DAC via its crucial Dual AES interface. SACD content is output as encrypted DSD. Further refining its performance, the Transport II benefits from improved, multi-stage power supplies that provide ultra-clean power to its sensitive circuitry and a robust, aerospace-grade machined aluminum chassis with integrated acoustic damping to eliminate vibration and interference. With comprehensive digital outputs and Word Clock I/O for precise synchronization with the Vivaldi Master Clock, the Vivaldi CD/SACD Transport II sets a new benchmark for disc replay, offering an unparalleled level of detail, dynamic expression, and musical realism that truly brings physical media to life.
Features
-Plays Red Book CDs in their native 16/44.1 format while simultaneously upsampling to DSD, DSDx2, or DXD
-Plays SACDs in their native DSD format with simultaneous downsampling to 16/44.1 format
-Configuration menu includes options to save or restore settings, with the EasyPlay feature enhancing user-friendliness
-Enhanced power supplies lower operating temperatures and improve tolerance to AC supply variations
-Multi-stage power regulation ensures sensitive clock and PLL circuitry are protected from digital interference
-Aerospace-grade machined aluminium chassis with acoustic damping panels minimizes magnetic effects and vibrations
Specifications
Silver or Black
Sound United D&M SACD mechanism
444mm long x 435mm deep x 178mm high. Allow extra depth for cable connectors. Allow space for air flow around the unit
Weight:Â 23.0kg
1 x Dual AES Pair on 2 x 3-pin male XLR connectors (AES1+2). While an SACD is playing, the interface outputs encrypted DSD data. While a CD is playing, the Settings > Upsample Mode menu page sets the interface to output either encrypted DSD data (1 bit at 2.822MS/s) or DXD data (24 bits at 352.8kS/s) or DSDx2 data (1 bit at 5.644MS/s)
1 x AES interface on 3-pin male XLR connector (AES3). Outputs 16/44.1 data, whether a CD or SACD is playing
2 x SPDIF interfaces on 1 x RCA Phono and 1 x BNC connectors. Each outputs 16/44.1 data, whether a CD or SACD is playing
1 x Word Clock Input on BNC connector, accepts standard Word Clock at 44.1, 88.2 or 176.4kHz. Sensitive to TTL levels. Lock range is +/-300ppm
1 x Word Clock Output on 1x BNC connector. With the Transport in Master mode, a TTL-compatible Word Clock is output
The calibration accuracy when shipped is +/-10ppm (not temperature compensated)
Updates are loaded directly from CD-R
dCS Universal Remote (supplied with Vivaldi DAC as standard) via the Mosaic app, RS232 app or a third-party device
Factory set to either 100, 115/120, 220 or 230/240V AC, 50/60Hz
