An audio reviewer OVER HYPED a product! No way!
The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history??
In the current issue of 'The Absolute Sound' magazine, Jacob Heilbrun applies about as much hyperbole on the new dCS Varese DAC stack as I have ever read!!
There are references to the sound of a 'live' piano and other points about the 'quantum leap in SQ' of this product.
Yet, i ask this, how is it possible that the digital recording chain can in fact pick up the many incredible subtleties that Jacob references in his review??
Nonetheless, at the price asked for the new Varese, it had better do your washing, cooking and take out the dog for a walk!
Next year, we will hear how the new dCS Varese is being upgraded, and that the new revisions are more accurate, more resolving, more this...more that, for a large price increase. Pathetic on a number of plains. Thoughts?

@daveyf - just because technology moves on in a newer model doesn’t mean what came before is obsolete- the older tech still beats most lower priced DACs. Also, the older tech used items still sell at a steep price, but obviously not to the level of new. If one is afraid of newer tech replacing old, they’ll never be satisfied in high-tech products like computers, digital audio…. We only have 1 choice - buy or not, accompanying with “fear of obsolescence” is an unwise pointless option |
