Built around LAiV’s R-2R ladder DAC architecture, designed to preserve musical texture and tonal accuracy. It delivers a digital presentation that feels organic and emotionally engaging.
Total Control Over Digital Playback.
Combined native DSD 1-bit processing with with an integrated sampling rate converter, VERSE allows you to resample PCM and DSD formats effortlessly.
One Component. Three Roles.
More than a DAC. With a discrete output buffered preamplifier and a fully discrete headphone stage, it anchors both personal and speaker based systems with confidence and flexibility.
Designed for Real World Listening.
Selectable gain, multiple headphone outputs, and comprehensive protection circuits make VERSE powerful, quiet, and safe for everyday use across a wide range of IEMs and headphones.
