DCS Puccini with U-Clock

dCS Puccini SACD player AND U-Clock

Amazing timing and detail

Built to the highest specification, Puccini features a sleek, solid aluminum fascia, high grade aluminum casing, metal buttons and a smooth transport mechanism. Whether in CD, SACD or DAC mode, Puccini will extract every last bit of detail from your music, bringing a realism to the experience that you have never heard before.

A number of optimized DSP filter options elevate the performance further and allow listeners to use Puccini as a standalone DAC or the ultimate one-box CD/SACD player.

Detail resolution across all formats is pure state of the art, and all that information results in wonderfully layered harmonics with tricky instruments such as pianos, and the sort of subtlety only the best analogue kit seems able to manage.

There's a lovely fluidity to the way this player shades the growth of sounds as they change from quiet to loud, too. It sounds natural, and that's something rarely said about digital equipment, regardless of price. Matching the Puccini Player with a U-Clock reduces jitter to even lower levels, improving on an already spectacular sound by taking it into an entirely new domain. With the clock added, images snap into sharper focus, the music gains authority and power, as well as offering noticeably higher detail resolution. Puccini U-Clock also features a USB to S/PDIF converter, which lets Puccini owners play high resolution music stored on computer via the legendary dCS Ring DAC inside the Puccini Player.

The Puccini features the award-winning Puccini U-Clock which is a separate Grade 1 system clock to further reduce jitter and improve performance. Matched with the Puccini Player it improves on an already spectacular sound and takes it into an entirely new domain.

Four Word Clock outputs further reduce jitter and improve sonic performance.

Asynchronous USB input allows direct connection of a computer audio source and supports high resolution files up to 192Kb/s PCM, and DSD in DoP format.

Isochronous and asynchronous USB mode prevents the source injecting jitter into DAC. High-grade aluminum chassis and laminated acoustic damping panels reduce magnetic effects and vibration.
