dCS Rossini SACD/Redbook Transport coming
 

With no TEAC VRDS NEO™ VMK3 mechanism availability and no comparable unit available which met their standards, the dCS Rossini player left HQ as RB only.

After extensive testing, dCS is about ready to launch a SACD/Redbook Transport in May/June with a new Denon mechanism/sled.

The new unit is huge & will not fit in the current Rossini player, so a separate transport box was necessary & is about 1.0 to 1.5 inches higher then the current Rossini player.

Pricing has yet to be announced, but estimates are $20k - $22K. Therefore, if pricing holds and SACD playback is an important capability, a 3 box Rossini (DAC/Clock/Transport) total puts it in the 4 stack Paganini pricing which was just under $55K.

Glad dCS found a mechanism that they are confident with for the long term. Will let time pass to see how it shakes out.

Best Sirs,

Bob

Would really like to hear a DCS , which is not so easy in a tiny country :) thinking about making a combined vacation and High-End show to listen to some of the more exotic things in High-End land...although i will never be able to purchased its always nice and interesting to hear the greatest.
Munich is very close and obvious , but also thinking about Asia , maybe USA visiting Ivan or something alike.....sorry for my rambling of thoughts.
Hope you are okay with that Bob. !

Hope you'll be able to at some point Flemming. I had wondered if you had thought of attending Munich in May -- 1100KM's. The best show in your 'neck of the woods' as they say.

:beerchug:

Best Sir,

Bob

Thank you Bob :)

And yes Munich is no Brainer , had thought of it but i think i will attend there in 2019. As i might be able to find some good pricing on Hotels.
And of course enjoy a good German beer , i would then probably continue to Italy to Florence or Milan after the Munich show.
But i also love Hong Kong and would like to explore more Asian Countries , and for the USA i could se myself explore Florida and of course there are the Grand Canyon area...so many places to see :-) maybe even have a beer with you at some time , Bob, that would be a real treat.

Cool Beans Flemming -- anytime Sir,

Best

Bob

Bob...looks great!!!

Bob i will let you know if thats going to happen , would be a treat to meet. :banana:

Bob, thank you for posting!
That places this stack in the same price category as the Vivaldi One, doesn't it?

Almost - Vivaldi One stack is $82K in silver -- not gold plated version. The Vivaldi 4 stack is near $110K

The Vivaldi One is 1/of 250 ---not many left.

Best Sir,

Bob

That transport must be big because in person my Vivaldi player is really taller than what shows in your photo. The camera angle makes it look longer and shorter. The new transport is going to be almost a large as the Vivaldi One.

Subliminal message here Jim?

:yikes:

Best Sir,

Bob

P.S. JQ said it's huge. He told me the Rossini SACD/RB Transport is approx. 1 to 1.5 inches taller than the current Rossini player. I assume he eye-balled it. Let's assume it's 1.25 inches taller in height.

Rossini Player Dimensions--- 17.5 W x 17.2 D x 6.0 H
Rossini Transport--------------??.? W x ??.? D x 7.25 H
Vivaldi Transport--------------17.5 W x 17.2 D x 7.8 H
Vivaldi One -------------------17.5 W x 17.2 D x 8.7 H

Okay Bob, when can I come visit you and listen? :thumbsup:

Anytime Vern; however, I'm still sitting on the fence regarding any new digital gear.

Best Sir,

Bob

Glad that you are enjoying the Rossini, jpspock
