The dCS Varèse is a reference digital playback system that redefines what is possible in digital audio. Built as a complete multi-component architecture—including Core, dual mono D ACs, Master Clock, user interface, and optional CD/SACD Transport—it is engineered to operate as a unified system rather than a collection of separates. At its heart is the new Differential Ring DAC, delivering improved linearity, lower distortion, and greater musical realism. Combined with true dual-mono conversion, ACTUS system architecture, and precision clocking, Varèse presents music with exceptional spatial stability, natural timing, and a dramatically lower noise floor. Key Features Differential Ring DAC next-generation architecture True dual mono DAC configuration ACTUS unified audio, control, and timing system Dedicated Core for streaming and processing External Master Clock for precision timing Roon Ready with high-resolution format support Modular, multi-chassis reference design Specifications System Type: Multi-chassis digital music system DAC Topology: dCS Differential Ring DAC Formats Supported: PCM up to 24-bit / 384kHz; DSD up to DSD512 Inputs: Ethernet network streaming; USB storage; additional inputs via optional I/O module Outputs: Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA System Components: Core, dual mono DACs, Master Clock, user interface + remote, optional CD/SACD Transport Dimensions: Varies by component Weight: Varies by component Pearl Audio Perspective Varèse is not simply the top of the dCS range. It is the point where the system begins to disappear, leaving behind space, timing, body, and musical truth at a level that is unmistakably different. Show more
