Its design combines renowned dCS technologies with new innovations developed for headphone listeners, resulting in a bold new interpretation of the dCS experience, and a complete reimagining of form and function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Lina Network Streaming DAC, dCS has taken core playback technologies, including the dCS Ring DAC™ and Digital Processing Platform, and added new innovations developed for headphone listeners. These include their first ever touch-screen display, a streamlined user interface for easier navigation, and a powerful flex-rigid circuit board which allows for the delivery of all the features you’d expect from a dCS DAC but in a much smaller chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/dcs-lina-dac-bs-ba1-gallery.jpg?v=1706016954\" alt=\"dCS Lina DAC silver front with active LCD on wood cart\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexible Circuit Board in a Solid Chassis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside all Lina DACs is a part rigid, part flexible folding circuit board that contains over 2,000 electronic components.

This feature is an integral part of the product and one that serves to further enhance performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreating a chassis from a single piece of metal – rather than several pieces bolted together – is an unusual approach which allows us to ensure that all electronic components within the DAC perform to the best of their abilities.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/dcs-lina-network-dac-gallery_2048x2048.jpg?v=1677098399\" alt=\"dCS Lina network DAC on glass table from Bloom Audio gallery\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStunning Results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a powerful, supremely capable product designed for use in a wide range of environments, from living rooms to studios and workspaces.
