Vivaldi Upsampler

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.
