dCS Lina Network DAC (Silver Finish)

The Lina Network DAC delivers extraordinary sound from all digital sources and audio recordings. Its design combines our renowned playback technologies – including the dCS Ring DAC and Digital Processing Platform – with a wealth of new innovations. Its powerful flex-rigid circuit board enables us to deliver all the features and benefits you’d expect from a dCS system in a much smaller chassis. The result is a powerful, supremely capable product that excels in a vast range of setups and listening environments.
