We’re pleased to announce the release of v3.0 firmware for dCS Bartók and Rossini owners.

This update introduces a range of new features and enhancements designed to provide greater flexibility and control over the listening experience, including New Mappers, New Filters, DSDx4 Upsampling, Volume Lock and more.

Read full details on all features included in the v3.0 firmware updates, and how to update - at dcsaudio.com/v3.0

For dCS, software development is a fundamental part of the ownership experience. Our aim has always been to create products that can continue to evolve, bringing meaningful new capabilities and refinements to existing owners long after their initial purchase.

v3.0 is a reflection of that philosophy: a substantial update that expands the capabilities of Bartók and Rossini while preserving the performance and musical experience at the heart of both products.

“These dark tales told through folk, drone and experimental music form a soundtrack to the difficult and often bleak times we live in…

I feel a sense of grief and rage creeping into people’s lives and rising from the earth; the fear and anxiety permeate society as we face environmental desolation and political upheavals, which means it’s more vital than ever to navigate the chaos with music as a healer of troubled hearts and minds…” - Penelope Trappes
