NEW dCS P 8i cd-player

Is this why everyone is dumping thier stack?

Tabl10s, I don't understand your point.

There are a few DCS pieces for sale. I was wondering if this was a response to the CDP.

I thought the same thing.

Anyone who heard it and want to tell us how it sounds ?

Bland....will make you want to spin vinyl again. It homogenizes all your discs so they sound alike..lifeless and colored. Honest.

I saw one review of the unit: Hi Fi Plus...not particularily glowing nor critical...

heard it at the heathrow hifi show. admitedly under show conditions, but it was one of the better sounding rooms at the show. unfortunately, i can't remember what equipement it was partnered with...

I thought it sounded outstanding when I heard it. So I bought it. It was the first SACD player I had heard that also made Redbook CDs sound their best. It is a good example of "trickle down" technology, incorporating some of the lessons learned from the dCS stack. If you like the sound of the stack, I think you would like the sound of this unit. But I am biased, since I own it.
