dCS Bartók Review
One of the most popular additions to our line up of digital sources over the last few years has been dCS. Our friend George takes a dCS Bartok home test, and you can read here what he thought. Thank you once again to George for this fantastic content.
"dCS or Digital Conversion Systems have, over the past three decades, established an enviable reputation in the audio world that the vast majority of Hi-Fi manufacturers can only dream of. This hasn't been by chance but through thorough research, design and in-house manufacture in the UK. It is a truly British company, established in Cambridgeshire, dCS first began producing high-end domestic units in the early 90's. Prior to that time, they had produced high performance digital systems for telecommunication companies and the military."
