Creating Varèse was a multi-year project, and our most complex engineering challenge to date, with various disciplines working in tandem to explore how we could advance audio performance, and create the ultimate music system for a new generation.
Working with our trusted manufacturing partners, we tested the limits of electronic and mechanical design, developing new interfaces and protocols, redesigning our hardware platforms, and creating all-new chassis structures in our efforts to enhance people’s listening experience. The result is our best-performing and most advanced digital playback system yet – an invention that we are proud to share with listeners worldwide.
Our new video, Making Varèse, offers an up-close look at some of the manufacturing, build and test processes involved in creating Varèse components.
We went behind the scenes to document how Varèse fascias are machined, sculpted and anodised. We also show how the intricate circuit boards in Varèse Mono DACs and Cores are assembled – a process that involves several state-of-the-art machines working at lightning speeds to populate, print and scan.
Alongside visiting our trusted manufacturing partners, we went behind the scenes with the dCS production team at our Cambridgeshire headquarters to show how Varèse Cores and Mono DACs are hand-built and tested.
