Connected to the Core via a dCS ACTUS cable, this new transport is designed to work exclusively with the Var\u00e8se series, as it has no other inputs or outputs apart from the mains socket, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its redesigned tray based on Sound United D&amp;M SACD mechanics and a total weight of 20.1 kg due to the extensive use of aerospace-grade aluminum to minimize interference, this new transport is fully configured to optimally play the 44.1 kHz format of CDs and the DSD64 format of SACDs, with the signal then reprocessed by the other Var\u00e8se components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available since the end of September, the dCS Transport has not yet been priced in euros, but it costs \u00a335 000 in the United Kingdom, to which you must add at least a Core (88 499 \u20ac\/\u00a375 000), the Mono-Dac (105 999 \u20ac\/\u00a390 000) and the user interface (\u00a320 000), or even the Master Clock (37 999 \u20ac\/\u00a332 500).
