Other Notes: 

"The dCS Bartók APEX is the ultimate all-in-one digital source, seamlessly combining a high-end streamer, upsampler, and DAC, with an optional (NOT INCLUDED) Class A headphone amplifier, into a single, elegant chassis. Its APEX upgrade introduces a redesigned Ring DAC board, optimized reference voltage, clocking signal path, and analog output stage, delivering next-level precision and clarity.

Performance is transformed with over 12dB reduction in 3rd-order harmonic distortion, producing a cleaner, more linear output. Reviewers praise its muscular, weighted sound, tighter bass, and expansive, holographic soundstage. The refined timbre offers a natural, musical delivery, removing the digital edge of the original Bartók while preserving its analytical insight—perfect for listeners seeking both detail and musicality."
