The Varèse Music System, our most ambitious creation to date, now welcomes a new milestone: the Varèse Transport. This dedicated CD/SACD Transport, available from September 2025, is designed for audiophiles who demand the finest sound quality from their silver discs. Representing the culmination of six years of intensive development, the Varèse Transport is our quietest and lowest vibration transport to date, pushing the boundaries of audio performance while simplifying system setup and use.

The Varèse Music System: A Legacy of Innovation

Launched with five core components—Core, User Interface, dual Mono DACs, Master Clock, and the Varèse Remote, alongside the Mosaic ACTUS app—the Varèse Music System is a testament to dCS’s relentless pursuit of audio excellence. The addition of the Varèse Transport extends this legacy, offering listeners an unparalleled way to experience their CD and SACD collections.

Since 2000, with the introduction of our first transport, the Verdi, dCS has been a pioneer in CD and SACD playback. While new digital music formats and streaming technologies have emerged, CDs and SACDs remain cherished by many for their unique sound quality and exclusive recordings unavailable elsewhere. The Varèse Transport is crafted for these listeners, ensuring their collections deliver the best possible audio experience.

Engineering Excellence: The Varèse Transport

The Varèse Transport embodies our philosophy of delivering “Only the Music.” Every aspect of its design focuses on minimizing noise, distortion, and vibration while preserving the integrity of the audio signal. Key features include:

  • Advanced Chassis Design: The top, sides, and front of the Varèse Transport are machined from a single piece of billet aluminium, with constrained layer damping between the chassis base and dress plates. Mechanism mounts, also milled from a single piece of aluminium without joins or fixings, further enhance stability and reduce vibrations.

  • Bespoke ACTUS Interface: The Transport connects to the Varèse Core via a single ACTUS cable, enabling bit-perfect audio transmission. Asynchronous audio, control, and timing signals are all managed through this interface, ensuring seamless operation. The Transport automatically syncs to a master clock signal (from the Varèse Clock or Core), eliminating manual configuration.

  • Enhanced Control Options: Listeners can control the Transport via the Varèse User Interface, Varèse Remote Control, or Mosaic ACTUS app, offering unmatched flexibility and ease of use.

  • Optimized Mechanism: Utilizing the same proven mechanism as the Vivaldi Transport II and Rossini Transport, the Varèse Transport introduces a new mounting method to further reduce noise and physical vibrations.

  • Native Format Playback: The Transport plays Redbook CDs in their native 44.1kS/s format and SACDs in their native DSD format, preserving every detail of the original recording.

A Commitment to Audio Purity

At dCS, our goal is to eliminate factors that compromise audio performance. The Varèse Transport reflects this commitment through meticulous attention to mechanical and electronic design. By selecting robust, stable mechanisms and ensuring the cleanest possible voltages for electronics and mechanisms, we’ve created a transport that delivers exceptional clarity and fidelity.

Our ongoing advancements in software, hardware, and chassis construction have allowed us to refine transport design, ensuring listeners experience the full depth and richness of their CD and SACD collections.

A Seamless Addition to the Varèse Family

The Varèse Transport not only matches the performance of the Varèse Music System but also its aesthetic. Its sleek, minimalist design aligns with the rest of the Varèse range, reflecting insights from extensive research into chassis construction. This cohesive design ensures the Transport integrates seamlessly into any Varèse setup, both visually and functionally.

What’s Next?

We’re thrilled to introduce the Varèse Transport to audiophiles worldwide and are excited to begin delivering the first units to Varèse partners and owners. Stay tuned for the next instalment of our Inside Varèse series, where we’ll dive deeper into the Transport’s innovative design and share exclusive images of its internal construction. Experience the Varèse Transport and rediscover the magic of your CD and SACD collection with unmatched clarity and precision.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".
