Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti?

RTN1 - Spoke with Avalon and indeed the Indra is probably the appropriate size for my room. So mine shall stay until I get a bigger room.

Did ask about an Indra Diamond though, that's a definite maybe on that one....

So shifting to the DAC arena, one I am curious about - that receives remarkably little comment here - is the Esoteric D01 DAC...

Any one auditioned a pair? Bueller?....

Murataltuev,

the Focal have sort of unnatural sound from glass foam cone and the ASR is sort of transitorized grainy in some sense, so that might result in some of the findings but it is/was still not so imminent with the other sources I heard together with the same speakers.
About audition in your country you would have to ask APL.

Perrew, I checked the price and you was right! It is very expensive!
Compareable with Scarlatti.

Murataltuev, you should really try to hear it, I dont think you will be dissapointed:-)

Dear all,

I have the GTE Trinity in my listening room together with the matching amp. Kaiser acoustics has exhibited it at RMAF 2009 in Denver/Co.

I have to say that I prefer the Trinity a huge margin above the DCS. DCS from my point of view is a good device, but can´t compete with Trinity. DCS sound still very edgy and "digital" compared to the Lineatec design of the Trinity.

Best regards
