Paganini Transport is built to the highest specification and features a sleek, solid aluminium fascia, thick aluminium casing, metal buttons and a smooth transport mechanism. Its TEAC Esoteric™ UMK5 drive is robustly constructed and features a metal tray built specially for dCS. All signal processing and electronics in the Transport are designed and developed in-house by dCS.

Paganini Transport upsamples CD data to DSD, transmitting DSD data over the IEEE1394 and Dual AES interface. SACDs are played in their native format and also transmitted over IEEE1394 and Dual AES. Native CD data is available from 4 PCM outputs (2x AES3 and 2x S/PDIF), as is downsampled SACD data.

Paganini Transport is intended to be used with the matching Paganini DAC or any suitable industry-standard DAC. The unit may be run in Master mode or by using the DAC as the system clock. Performance is further enhanced by adding the Paganini Clock to the system.

Key Features

• Upsamples Red Book CD to DSD format and plays SACD in its native format.
• Uses a solidly constructed TEAC UMK5 mechanism with a metal tray built specially for dCS.
• All dCS products use a sophisticated multi-mode Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) which significantly reduces clock jitter.
• Improved power supplies give lower running temperature and superior tolerance to AC supply variations.
• Aerospace-grade aluminium chassis and laminated acoustic damping panels reduce magnetic effects and vibration.
• Low-power LC display makes the user interface easier to read, keeps power requirements down and minimises electrical noise.
• ‘Soft’ approach to programmable logic allows new software to be loaded from a dCS update CD to add new features and adapt to changes in digital formats.
