1987 - March dCS formed.
1988 dCS 900, the world's first 24 bit audio ADC launched. Sample rates: 32, 44.1 & 48 kS/s
dCS 250 Dynamic ADC/DAC Measurement System launched
1991 dCS 900B 24 bit ADC launched replacing the dCS 900
1993 dCS 900C ADC launched replacing the dCS 900B
1993 July dCS 902, the world's first 24 bit 96 kS/s ADC launched.
Sample rates: 88.2 & 96 kS/s.
1994 - September dCS 950, the world's first 24 bit DAC launched.
Sample rates: 32, 44.1 & 48 kS/s.
dCS 952, the world's first 24 bit 96 kS/s DAC launched.
Sample rates: 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 & 96 kS/s.
1995 - March dCS 900D ADC launched replacing the dCS 900C. This made extensive use of gate arrays, which gave the unit the ability to readily adapt to new digital formats and incorporate new functions simply by rewriting control software, without the need to physically change components on the board.

1996 - December dCS 972, the world's first 24/96 Universal Sample Rate and Format Converter launched.
1997 - March dCS 904 and dCS 954, the world's first 24 bit 192 kS/s ADC and DAC launched.
1997- June The world's first 24 bit 192kS/s live recording made in Deventer, Holland, using the dCS 904 and dCS 954.
1997 - October dCS Elgar wins the French hi-fi magazine Diapason’s "Diapason D’Or" award.
1997 - November dCS Elgar wins the Japanese hi-fi magazine Stereo Sound’s "Component of the Year" award.

1998 - September Sony DSD capability added to dCS Elgar.
1999 - January dCS Purcell, the world's first consumer upsampler lauched at Las Vegas CES Show.
1999 - September dCS Delius, 24/192 audiophile D/A converter lauched at the Hi-Fi News Show, London.
1999 - November dCS 972 DSD feature set enhanced making it the world's first commercial DSD to PCM Format Converter.
2000 - February dCS ADCs and DACs used in the world's first commercial DSD recorder
2001 - October dCS Verdi, world's first SACD/CD transport with IEEE1394 digital output released.
2003 - November dCS introduce Verdi La Scala, the world's first DSD upsampling Transport
