Mosaic 1.42 and Lina 2.0

dCS has further improved the power and capabilities of Lina with software update 2.0. Lina 2.0 adds two new Mapper settings, DSD128 Upsampling, and new DSD and PCM filters, and Balance controls. It also provides two important accessibility improvements: text size adjustment, and support for a broader range of remotes. 

Mosaic 1.42 enables you to control these new features through the app, and improves support for online radio stations to give you more music discovery options.

Update Notes: Lina updates are facilitated via dCS Mosaic. Make sure Lina is connected to your network, and on Mosaic, navigate to Support -> Versions -> Check for Updates. Please allow 30 minutes for the update to complete. Do not power off Lina during the update.

A New Beginning Built on a Long History of DAC Technology

The Lina Network DAC is both a continuation and a new beginning. 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.

With 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.

Stunning Results

The result is a powerful, supremely capable product designed for use in a wide range of environments, from living rooms to studios and workspaces. With its wide dynamic range, crisp and clear playback, expansive soundstage, and tonal neutrality, it provides a deeply natural, highly detailed, and profoundly musical sound that encapsulates dCS' singular approach to audio.

Add unique headphone optimization technology, an elegant and tactile design, and a high-performance streaming platform, and you have a hugely versatile source that delivers spectacular sound however you choose to listen. Designed to inspire, inform and entertain, it will give you a whole new perspective on the artists and recordings you love.
