DCS Scarlati v Esoteric P-01,D-01

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....

Wadia 931/921/270se should be on your list, too.

Yes, I have compared DCS Scarlatti with P-01/D-01/G-0s. Scarlatti sounds softer and possibly more euphonic (not in a bad way). Esoteric combo is more focused due to better clock, better VRDS NEO.and outboard power supply.

Feel free to email me if you want more in depth info.

better VRDS NEO ??

isn't the Scarlatti using exactly this one?

the MBL combi should also be mentionned

The transport used in the P-01 is not used in any other Esoteric or competitive product.
