DCS Scarlatti


Hi Folks:

Yesterday I listened to the complete DCS Scarlatti including a brand new outboard D to D converter. Nothing compares. DCS has always been the finest digital that I have ever heard and I am wondering if someone could compare the sound of the prior stack with the Scarlatti.

Happy Holidays.

The Biggest difference between Scarlatti and the prev generations of dcs is the "naturalness"...It removes the"digital" sound out of the way.......As a result,you could go on listening for hours on end without any fatigue and without praying hard for tube amplifications.

To my ears,Nothing better at the moment

does anyone listen only using Scarlatti transport+DAC (without the clock & the upsampler) comparing to emm Labs TSD1+DAC2?

I agree with Fafafion, having owned both Elgar and now Scarlatti - a "naturalness" which renders all other alternatives (heard and unheard) irrelevant. I, for one, care not if dCS themselves introduce a new line sometime down the road. For the manufacturer, such an extraordinary accomplishment is a mixed blessing.
