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 last week the Puccini in one system composed by Karma speakers, Air tight electronics first and after Boulder electronics, very very good sound, after they used Soulution player, very difficult decision, perhaps with Boulder i prefer Soulution and with Air tight Puccini, but I can live with both players, finally they used Scarlatti system, not day and night ,but clearly better than Puccini and a little beter than Soulution, my advice, are you rich? you don´t know what is going up with the CRISIS? buy Scarlatti, you don´t have all the money and need a credit or have the money but not a lot more? buy Puccini or Soulution or perhaps Playback designs and you will be very happy, or perhaps twice happy with sound and some money in your pocket for to buy CD, LP....
Clavil,
I use elrod sig 2 with puccini since I have JPS Aluminata interconnect. Before I have used acrolink 7n-pc7100. However I have Nordost Valhalla, Shunyata Anaconda and PAD Ann. as reserve cables. Keep in mind, every gear requires different cable. I used to have Pass Labs X250.5 now I have Krell Evo 402 which requires different order of powercords and cables for best result since I have Boulder 810 preamplifier. If I had ARC REF 3, than maybe another powercord would yield best outcome with DCS.
