Vivaldi One APEX Key Features
- Latest generation dCS Digital Processing Platform delivers state-of- the-art measured performance
- dCS Ring DAC APEX™ hardware further reduces distortion and improves linearity for enhanced musical performance
- High-quality streaming from TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer and internet radio via the dCS Mosaic Control app
- Roon Ready, AirPlay, Spotify Connect and UPnP compatible
- USB, AES, Dual AES and S/PDIF digital audio inputs
- Integral TEAC Esoteric VMK3 VRDS-Neo CD/SACD mechanism
- Multi-stage DXD oversampling with optional DSD/64 or DSD/128 upsampling
- User-selectable DSP and DSD filters
- Flexible output configuration can be used with and without pre amplifier
- Comprehensive auto-clocking architecture improves ease of use and minimises jitter
- Multi-stage power regulation and twin mains transformers isolate sensitive analogue and clock circuits from digital circuitry
- Separate power supplies for digital and analogue sections further enhance power supply cleanness
- Firmware upgradeable over the internet for future functionality and performance improvements
- Features a full MQA™ decoder. This MQA™ implementation is unique, as it is the first opportunity to enable a DAC which, by providing exact rendering to beyond 16x (768 kHz), matches the desired temporal response with very low modulation noise
- Aerospace grade machined aluminium chassis fitted with tuned acoustic damping panels reduces magnetic effects and vibration

Mechanism
TEAC Esoteric VMK3 VRDS Neo
Analogue Outputs
1 x pair balanced outputs on 2x XLR connectors. These outputs are electrically balanced and floating. Output levels: 0.2V, 0.6V, 2V, 6V rms for a full-scale input, set in the menu. Output impedance: 3Ω. Maximum load: 600Ω (10k-100kΩ is recommended); 1 x pair unbalanced outputs on 2x RCA connectors. Output levels: 0.2V, 0.6V, 2V, 6V rms for a full-scale input, set in the menu. Output impedance: 52Ω. Maximum load: 600Ω (10k-100kΩ is recommended)
Wordclock I/O
2 x Word Clock Inputs on 2x BNC connectors, accept standard Word Clock at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192kHz. The data rate can be the same as the clock rate or an exact multiple of the clock rate. Sensitive to TTL levels; 1 x Word Clock Output on 1x BNC connector. With Sync Mode set to Master, a TTL-compatible Word Clock is output
Residual Noise
16-bit data: Better than –96dB0, 20Hz – 20kHz unweighted. 24-bit data: Better than –113dB0, 20Hz – 20kHz unweighted. (6V output setting)
L R Crosstalk
Better than –115dB0, 20Hz – 20kHz
Spurious Responses
Better than –115dB0, 20Hz – 20kHz
Filters
PCM mode: up to 6 filters give different trade-offs between the Nyquist image rejection and the phase response. DSD mode: 4 filters progressively reduce the out-of-audio band noise level, a 5th filter offers a minimum-phase roll-off
Conversions
User-selectable upsampling to DXD, DSD/128 or DSD/64
