 A new, downloadable Mosaic ACTUS app (footnote 7) for iOS or Android, designed especially for Varèse, that enables playback from streaming services, USB stick, or (with the I/O Module) external computers, streamers, and network-attached storage (NAS). Networked servers must be UPnP compatible. The app helps with setup, guiding you through initial system update and remote configuration. It also detects audio sources and controls volume. Google Cast enables streaming from phone, tablet, or computer; you can also use it for multiroom casting with Cast-compatible speakers. Apple AirPlay, Roon, and Tidal Connect are other options.

The Mosaic ACTUS app enables you to configure all system options, audio sources, streaming services, local network inputs, Digital I/O Module inputs, and signal path settings including filters, conversion modes, and mappers. dCS offers six PCM filter choices, four usable DSD filter choices, three mapper choices, five conversion mode choices (DXD oversampling or DSD/DSD2/DSD4/DSD8 oversampling), absolute phase choice at the analog output, output voltage choice, and more. Thanks to Mosaic ACTUS, it’s far easier to change these than in other dCS DACs and music systems. Everything is visible on the app—no more pushing buttons on the front panel—and filter settings have been blessedly simplified
