The Absolute Sound Technology & Innovation Awards celebrates “the greatest technologies and innovators in high-end audio”.
dCS was recognised with two awards in this year’s issue: our Engineering Team and Managing Director David Steven were named Innovators of the Year, in recognition of their efforts to develop and launch dCS Varèse and its supporting technologies.
Varèse was also named Technology of the Year 2025, with The Absolute Sound’s Robert Harley describing the system as “an amazingly sophisticated product that advances digital audio playback”.
The awards issue features a Q&A with David Steven, in which he discusses his introduction to high-end audio, developing Varèse and dCS’s evolution from the 1980s to the present.
