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?

What would be really interesting is a comparison between GTE and Wadia 922. Both use 8 x Burr Brown 1704K per channel in what seem to be similar technologies, and both use dual mono DAC boxes. The Wadia is of course much cheaper.

One week without GTE listening to my Scarlatti and now I think that Scarlatti is muddy in compare.
3 rest to compare: Vekian, Wadia 922 and APL

Can we get back on course and refocus on the DAC shoot out? Is it still on or have people digressed?

Oh, I can't wait! And was actually thinking if some highly regarded (SOTA, $70K+) vinyl rig will be available to shoot against? Would be very nice! I can bring some 45 rpm (including single sided) and also direct-to-disc LPs and corresponding CD/SACDs so we can compare apples to apples. :-)

Just let me know the date! :-)
