About the Verdi Encore
The dCS Verdi Encore is a high-end SACD/CD transport designed to play both Super Audio CDs and standard CDs. It features built-in DSD upsampling, eliminating the need for a separate upsampler. The transport outputs DSD data via an IEEE 1394 bus and supports standard CD data at 16 bits/44.1 kHz through AES, SPDIF (RCA, BNC, Toslink), and SDIF-2 interfaces. It includes a Word Clock input for synchronization with a master clock or dCS DACs. The Verdi Encore is built on a flexible digital audio platform using FPGA and DSP chips, allowing for software updates.
