dCS Varèse

Varèse is the culmination of a series of projects that began several years ago. In addition to researching and developing updates to existing products, we had spent a great deal of time exploring how we could further improve the sonic and measured performance of our DACs. We’d also begun investigating whether we could develop a unified system to transport audio, timing and control signals and improve clocking arrangements between audio components.Alongside this, we’d been considering how we could make it even easier and more rewarding for listeners to discover music and manage playback, conducting interviews with dCS owners around the world and exploring what future music interfaces could look like.As these strands of research converged, we decided to embark on an ambitious project to reinterpret the dCS experience for a new era –devising a complete playback system that reimagines how we interact with and listen to music.
