Reference Analog

Reference Analog is expanding.

We’re so excited about the new dCS MCD16 that it pushed us to take the next step. For years, our focus has been on building some of the finest two-channel systems possible. Now, we’re bringing that same approach to reference-level home theater and immersive audio.

We’re excited to welcome Trinnov and Kaleidescape to Reference Analog.

The combination of Trinnov and the 16-channel dCS MCD16 feels like it was made for exactly what we want to accomplish: world-class sound. Add Kaleidescape as the movie source, and we can now build a theater with the same emphasis on performance that we bring to our best two-channel systems.

For our existing dCS customers, this also means something important: you can now have the dCS performance in your multichannel room!

Two-channel listening. Multichannel music. Reference home theater.

The goal is the same regardless of the number of channels: The Emotion In The Music.

Reference Analog
High-End Audio. Now Immersive.

Not everyday you get to play with Rockport Arrakis. Installed a dCS Vivaldi while there. This system with the Boulder 2160, dCS Vivaldi, and Rockports sounded truly world class.
