DCS Puccini internal wire 'upgrade'
As strange as it may sounds, I know a guy who has changed the internal flat cable of Puccini (it goes from ring dac to back plate, some 14m of it) , with
Neotech PC-OCC solid core silver wire.
His argument is that wire used by DCS is nothing more than industrial PATA cable and that is an IC basically (and quite poor)
Last couple of weeks we have an ongoing discussion about it on our domestic forum.
Aldo I own Puccini myself I have no intention in doing something like that (the original flat cable could be put back if needed),but I am curious about wider thoughts of such doing.
Is that example of thinking outside of box or pure madness?
Any thoughts, experience with similar projects, or better, actual knowledge would be appreciated?
Thank you

Our local dealer hosted the presentation of DCS and the guy came from factory to talk about it. In some informal conversation, he said, that basically, they can 'tailor' the sound via software how they please, or how the trends or market demands it. Looking at the photos of other players in that price range, man can see that some of them are using the same cables for internal wireing.So, having that in mind, I doubt that they made a overlook regarding quality of parts inside it. Than again, if somebody do not like that sound, there are other models and companies to choose from. Still, I was curious if anybody else have tried such thing and what the results may sound like |
@rlrb As other posters said, that is a ’project’ which can be done, but only the person who does it will know if the results are any good, better or worst from original. Like I wrote in my initial post, I know the guy who did it but never compared his Puccini with mine (we leave in different parts of the country). He is quite ’handy’ and had patience and will to do it. Personally, I would look for other ways to ’upgrade’ the sound. Puccini with clock is still a nice player, better than todays Bartok or Lina. Since than I have moved from Dcs |
@rlrb I have sent you the pm with contact of the guy who did the 'upgrade'...
