All I can add is the Scarlatti is one of the finest DACs I have ever heard. All the thoughts on harsh or soft or whatever are about your system or whichever system you are used too.
My time with it has only made me respect it more. At these lofty heights of audio playback, attention to detail in the rest of your system is extremely important and may make or break your experience of it.
The DAC itself is extraordinary. All I feel you could ask for as an audiophile is can it be cheaper with the same performance?
In my system it is sweet, warm and ultra pure. Every aspect of the information put in comes out.
