Digital chaotic systems suffer severe dynamical degradation under finite computational precision, compromising their randomness and unpredictability in security-critical applications. To address this challenge, we introduce the High-Dimensional Delayed Cyclic-Coupled Chaotic Model (HD-DCCCM), a unified framework that integrates high-dimensional coupling, delayed feedback, and time-varying parameter control. In this synergistic design, dynamic perturbations from delays and time-varying signals continuously excite the high-dimensional structure, effectively preventing the collapse into short periodic orbits typical of low-precision environments. Systematic numerical analyses confirm that the HD-DCCCM generates stable hyperchaos with significantly extended periods, consistently outperforming classical maps and representative anti-degradation methods. Moreover, the framework demonstrates strong robustness and flexibility across both homogeneous (identical maps) and heterogeneous (hybrid maps) configurations. These results position the HD-DCCCM as a general and powerful paradigm for constructing degradation-resilient chaotic systems, with broad potential for next-generation secure communications and cryptographic applications.
