The dCS Vivaldi Upsampler is the digital hub of the Vivaldi system, combining network streaming, digital-to-digital conversion, and advanced upsampling in a dedicated component. It provides access to music from streaming services, storage drives, external digital sources, and disc transports. By separating streaming and signal processing from the DAC, the Vivaldi Upsampler preserves the modular integrity of the Vivaldi architecture while allowing music to be converted from its native sample rate to high-resolution PCM, DXD, or DSD. Key Features Network streaming and digital input hub Digital-to-digital conversion and upsampling Supports streaming services and network playback Converts audio to high-resolution PCM, DXD, or DSD Designed for use with Vivaldi APEX DAC and Vivaldi Master Clock Flexible input architecture for multiple digital sources Specifications Type: Network streamer/upsampler/digital-to-digital converter Streaming: Network playback and supported streaming services Inputs: Ethernet, USB, AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and additional digital inputs Outputs: AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and dual AES to compatible dCS DACs Formats: PCM, DXD, and DSD output options System: Vivaldi series component Pearl Audio Perspective The Vivaldi Upsampler is essential for building a complete Vivaldi front end. It brings streaming, source management, and dCS processing into a dedicated chassis so the DAC can focus on conversion.
