Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti?


I heard about new DACs on the market better than Scarlatti.
StahlTek Vekian and GTE Audio.
Someone compared them with Scarlatti?
Any other DAC compared with dcs?

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 canĀ“t compete with Trinity. DCS sound still very edgy and "digital" compared to the Lineatec design of the Trinity.

Best regards

Rainer, do you also have or had dSC Scarlatti in your room?
Have you bought GTE or have it for demo?
I'm considering this DAC as it uses 16 multibit DACs per channel and must be something really different from all other DACs on the market!
I'll have it for audition next week and will share my impressions!
