Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy?

hi dave:

i have basically posited the concept of "improve the sound" as a "change in the sound" that is preferred.

thus, improving the sound implies changing it and preferring the change.

you have not specified what you mean by "change the sound".
i suspect that improve, in your view, means less inaccurate.

hi Emigene,

what system did you hear the Soulution 740 CDP in? & could you describe why you thought it was so impressive?! thks in advance.

Mrtennis said:
"i think that the sound of any component can be improved by changing caps and resistors, based on my own subjective orientation of 'improve'"

If you believe that, then how can we talk?? You statement cannot be absolutely true, but then you throw in your "subjective orientation of 'improve'". That's a rediculous statement that I can't really respond to.

To Dcstep:

I hereby append my prior "baseless claim" as follows:

my opinion based on my experience with other digital i have heard is that the dCS Scarlatti DAC might be on another level compared to anything out there. but i have not had everything in my system to compare.

I ask you to once again critique it's worth - but THIS time along with the worth of the next to last paragraph of the initial response in this thread made to the original poster by another member on 8-03-08.

hi dave:

you have not specified what "improve" means. instead of invective, why not facilitate communication by defining "improvement".
