Like a flower opening to the air, Camelia transforms movement into emotion.

Every vibration is shaped with precision and warmth, giving music a voice that feels natural, intimate, and alive.

Designed to disappear into the listening experience, Camelia lets every note bloom beautifully within the space.

A look inside the new dCS MCD 16, showing its sixteen channels and eight Ring DAC circuits.

The Ring DAC is the foundation of every dCS product, chosen for its exceptional distortion and noise performance.

Reduced harmonic distortion across the dynamic range means quiet passages of music or dialogue are rendered with complete integrity.

It also means that louder sounds decay naturally: reverb tails, the dying resonance of a struck chord, the gradual fade of a room — all resolve cleanly, giving a greater sense of space and depth across the full dynamic range, not just at its quietest extremes.

A discrete Class A output stage per channel, with switchable 2V or 6V outputs, ensures the signal leaves the MCD 16 on its own terms, whatever amplifier or cable it meets.

• Experience MCD 16 at High End Vienna 2026 •

Our first ever 16-channel Digital-to-Analogue converter, MCD 16 will form part of a joint immersive audio demonstration built in collaboration with Trinnov Audio and Perlisten Audio hosted by Grammy Award-winning producer Justin Gray.

We hope to see you there…find out more at dcsaudio.com/mcd16

We delivered and setup a Dohmann Helix One with the vacuum clamp yesterday. Needless to say, this system is amazing. The Dohmann is effortless and quiet. Cranking the music is just as effortless, no compression, no fatigue, just a joy to listen to!

Other components are a Clearaudio Unity tonearm and Goldfinger cartridge, MOON 810LP, D'Agostino Relentless, Sonus faber Aida's, Transparent Magnum Opus, Accuphase SACD player.
