The dCS Lina Network DAC is the digital hub for modern high-end headphone and hi-fi systems. It combines network streaming, D/A conversion, clocking, and digital processing in a compact, solid aluminium chassis — concentrating core dCS technologies in a single component. The patented Ring DAC™ and dCS Digital Processing Platform deliver an exceptionally low noise floor, outstanding linearity, microscopic resolution, and a natural, credible presentation across the full frequency spectrum.

Connected streaming & long-term future-proofing

Lina streams high-resolution audio via Roon, Qobuz, TIDAL, Spotify, Deezer, Apple AirPlay and Internet Radio — conveniently controlled using the dCS Mosaic app. The intuitive touchscreen interface provides direct access to settings, filters, and output levels. Thanks to flexible firmware, Lina stays current over time: new features and improvements are delivered regularly via software updates — with no hardware replacement required.

Solid build, uncompromising control

The chassis is compact, substantial, resonance-damped, and built in true high-end fashion. dCS manufactures and verifies to standards that go far beyond conventional hi-fi — including automated testing methodologies originally developed for military specifications. Lina avoids gimmicks and “sound cosmetics”: the goal is accurate reproduction, absolute integrity, and musical insight.

Reference-level sound

Lina delivers a spacious, transparent, effortlessly natural presentation. Fine detail, micro-structure, and dynamics are rendered without hardness or artificiality. Paired with the Lina Headphone Amplifier, it becomes an uncompromisingly pure, high-resolution headphone source — approaching studio mastering quality while fully exploiting even the most demanding headphones.

35 years of dCS innovation in one component

The dCS Lina Network DAC distills 35 years of digital development, innovation, and manufacturing excellence into a single reference component for listeners with the highest expectations.
