Used in Silver Connect with us for more details or to make this piece your own Request More Info The Bartók APEX is where you go when you want one box to do everything, and to do it at a level that standalone components rarely reach. Inside the silver chassis: a Ring DAC APEX conversion stage, a full network streamer, a DXD upsampler with configurable filter options, a preamplifier output for driving power amplifiers directly, and a Class A headphone amplifier for private listening. Ring DAC APEX is the technology that runs through dCS's entire reference lineup. Decades of development, refined and concentrated into a proprietary architecture that strips noise and distortion to levels most DACs cannot approach. The APEX hardware upgrade -- now standard in the Bartók -- brought measurable improvements to dynamics, timing, and resolution across the board. Roon Ready. AirPlay. Spotify Connect. Tidal Connect. Local network streaming. USB audio. AES. S/PDIF. The Bartók handles every source without asking you to compromise on any of them. *Stock photos shown
