DCS Scarlati v Esoteric P-01,D-01

Yes, it would be interesting to know how they compare sound wise. Hearsay, (from neutral people in the trade) is that they are as competitively popular and selling equally well to those seeking the SOTA in digital playback system today.

Maybe, let us add to the mix the Accuphase DP800 & DC801 and top line EMMs Lab for a mini shoot-out of current top crop CD/SACD players available. Anyone having the experiences to share?

How about including Spectral Audios humble 1 box player?

Or new reference Kalista transport/ C2 A converter which was released last month in Paris?

Hi,

I have heard that the Accuphase DP800+DC801 is regarded best of the best and their DP-700 one box is 98% performance of it's bigger brother. Even the lower model DP-500 pure Redbook is a great sounding player for the money with their own all new transport.

I personally do not like the HARD Esoteric sound from the P-01/D-01/ Go-sRb but I believe their new P-05/D-05 is much more analog sounding????

System synergy plays a big part in choosing the right player....
