DCS Puccini and/or Soulution 740 players? Anyone??

All,

I'm curious if anyone has listened to these players.

From other threads I've seen that DCS doesn't have a big following in the US probably partly because of the price. Can anyone describe the sound? I saw somewhere that people found it to be better than the Emm Labs equipment and that DCS has become more musical than the older DCS equipment.

The other player I'm very curious about is the new Soulution 740 player. A relatively new high-end brand from Switzerland. Apparently the player had its introduction at the CES 2008. Has anyone listened to it and does it is so much better than the other player considering its price?

Thanks for your feedback.

I have heard both in differents systems, one all soulution with Hansen king speakers, only one word : FANTASTIC, and the dCS with ARC ref3, CAT JL3 and Magico mini, : excellent, I think that both have a great sound, perhaps soulution a little more towards LP sound.

MAXX,

If you could afford it ,you should really get the dcs puccini.I had A long listening sessions using the full dcs Scarlatti combo and dcs Puccini.The combo was better but not by much.

The Puccini is certainly better than the following based on my personal listening sessions:
1]Reimyo latest seprates.Very close to puccini but can't get near the Scarlatti.Quite impressive.

2]Spectral latest saperates..The details are there but the notes seems to lack heft.

3]Emm labs seperates.

5]Wadia 581se.

It is easily the best single box player that I have ever heard.The best thing about the dcs? lots of details but very musical at the same time.My next upgrade..

Did you get a chance to compare versus the Spectral SDR-4000S one box?
