dCS new flagship

The Varèse period of Zappa is the least interesting to me but that is just my opinion. And yes, I love Zappa
Although I would prefer posting in another tread that I consider more adequate to a short follow-up https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/dcs-varese-short-review.39573/ , considering it has been closed, I will post in this one. It moderation decides to re-open it, I will ask to have it moved to it.
Today I had to travel and I had an opportunity to listen to the dCS Varese again in the large room of our distributor, again with the Wilson XVX's and D'Agostino Ralentless. I had now listened to this system in three separate occasions, including when it was taken out of the boxes, but today the Varese has been burning-in for three weeks. My initial feeling was confirmed - an extraordinary amount of true information that makes me enjoy more the music, but presented with easiness and fluidity. It kept the same transient capability that had impressed me, but voices were now even more "real" - hard to find any new expression to refer to it, several reviewers have now exhausted the superlative list, everything I could say is probably just a repetition - texture, texture, more texture!
I could stay only for one hour, but it was surely "better" than anything else I have listened. I listened only to digital recordings, including the Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s version of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring tracks 12, 13, and 14., next time I hope to listen to music I own in tape format - TapeProject tapes.

Yes, you are using the damned proper words - it is a temptation. Both as an audiophile and as a music listener.
