Dyck was born on 24 April 1750 in Leipzig, the son of a publisher. He enrolled at the University of Leipzig, moved to the University of Wittenberg and earned a magister degree there in 1778. During his studies, he became friends with the poet, Johann Benjamin Michaelis. After completing his studies, he took over his father's Leipzig "Dyk'sche bookstore" which, under his leadership, became one of the leading bookstores of his time in the field of fine literature.

He himself wrote a number of plays, made stage arrangements and translated various works from French and Italian that appeared in his bookshop, for example, his Sammlungen Komisches Theater der Franzosen für die Deutschen ("Collections of the French Comic Theatre for the Germans", 10 volumes 1777–1785) and Nebentheater. Around 1783, he took over the editing of the literary newspaper Neue Bibliothek der schönen Wissenschaften und freyen Künste ("New Library of the Beautiful Sciences and Free Arts"), which had been published by his own publishing house since 1757. Since he also headed the Wendlerische Freischule, he also published educational and historical treatises. He died in Leipzig on 21 May 1813.
