DCS Scarlatti



Hi Folks:

Yesterday I listened to the complete DCS Scarlatti including a brand new outboard D to D converter. Nothing compares. DCS has always been the finest digital that I have ever heard and I am wondering if someone could compare the sound of the prior stack with the Scarlatti.

Happy Holidays.

Would think that holding out and waiting for a year is the best option if you can. The technology is changing here faster than anything. The performance that cost $1000 two years ago can now be obtained for under $300.
Bryan, I spend just one hour listening DCS in my system in which I still have Emmlabs TSD1/DAC2 and can say that Scarlatti is in different league! It is 4 times more expensive, but this money you must spend if you can, to get really incredible live reproduction!
It is not just a little better in this or in that.
It is dramatically better in everything!
Usually I can explain the difference, but here it is just new reference!
Emmlabs, Berkeley, Empirical are very similar and Scarlatti I can compare only with very good vinyl setup!
I'm going to buy it...don't say to my wife:)
The Scarlatti right now is the finest digital system there is. Bar none.

DCS are a fabulous little English company. If I needed another digital system I would not know where to look. There is nothing out there that could better this.
