Lina DAC X

The Lina DAC X delivers all the benefits listeners have come to expect from a dCS DAC – outstanding sonic and measured performance, flexible firmware and a huge range of features. Inside every Lina DAC X is a flex-rigid circuit board that contains over 2,000 electronic components.

This feature allows them to utilise renowned dCS technologies – including the Ring DAC & Digital Processing Platform to deliver sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity and reduce the number of individual circuit boards inside the product for a cleaner signal path and better performance.

This pioneering design delivers the full dCS experience and brings a range of electronic improvements. 

Aluminium Casework
The Lina DAC X is housed in a chassis milled from solid aluminium billet manufactured using specialist 5-axis milling machines. The casework perfectly seals the electronics inside, preventing any interference from getting in or out. The excellent acoustic properties of aluminium protects against vibrations, maintaining excellent jitter performance. The chassis effectively dissipates heat from the powerful FPGA and class A output stage.

Ring DAC Technology

The state-of-the-art dCS Ring DAC is unique in its design and peerless in its performance. Combining low distortion, ultra-wide bandwidth and very low jitter, it provides an unforgettable experience which uncovers the finest of musical details and presents sound with every nuance of emotion intact.

The flexible output stage of the Lina DAC X allows it to be connected to any type of amplifier. It can be connected to standard line level inputs on preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers or headphone amplifiers, which it drives with ease. A complex class A output stage with a 3Ω output impedance, combined with up to 6v maximum output voltage and
a truly transparent volume control, mean the Lina DAC X can be connected directly to a power amplifier or active loudspeakers – making a perfect one or two-box streaming HiFi setup.
