dCS believes that the role of a hi-fi system is to preserve all of the subtle information on a recording through the reproduction chain, and present it to the listener with every last nuance of emotional content intact.
One of the most important parts of the music reproduction process is digital-to-analogue conversion, when the digital data on a CD or computer file is converted into an analogue signal – the music we hear through the loudspeakers.
Varèse is dCS’ most ambitious undertaking to date – the culmination of a series of intensive projects that began when they asked themselves: how do we create an even more profound and immersive experience for music listeners of the future?
