dcs Puccini break-in

Can only agree with Fafafion. My Puccini sounded thin and bright out of the box, but continued to improve the next month or so. After 10-12 days you will hear about 90-95%.

Just a few warnings to Puccini owners...

There was a software upgrade last year.(from v1.00 to v1.01)
There will be another very soon. I will make announcement as soon as I get the CD from dCS. Last upgrade is a has to be done by especialy Puccini plus U clock owners.( fixes a few bugs caused by U clock)

Secondly, I hate to repeat myself: dCS Puccini is very very powercord and interconnect sensitive. If you are looking sounding your setup full, organic, musical, rich, analog ''like'' or what, but in the sametime still very detailed and analytical, you need to find the ''correct'' combination of cord and interconnect which suits into your taste.

Thanks for the heads up Mert. This will be a new unit fresh from dcs with newest/latest software version (according to dcs)as we actually waited until they released the new version in production units.

I have a variety of power cords and IC's on hand so will experiment with different ones to see effects on sonics.

Thanks again.

just a friendly echo of Mert's comment. I have been skeptical of the purported gains of power cords for a long time and noticed a sonic improvement from my puccini when I introduced a dedicated line conditioner (foundation research LC-1).

Are you moving on from your MBL Arthursmuck? Please let me know how you get on.. Cheers
