DCS Puccini and/or Soulution 740 players? Anyone??

All,

I'm curious if anyone has listened to these players.

From other threads I've seen that DCS doesn't have a big following in the US probably partly because of the price. Can anyone describe the sound? I saw somewhere that people found it to be better than the Emm Labs equipment and that DCS has become more musical than the older DCS equipment.

The other player I'm very curious about is the new Soulution 740 player. A relatively new high-end brand from Switzerland. Apparently the player had its introduction at the CES 2008. Has anyone listened to it and does it is so much better than the other player considering its price?

Thanks for your feedback.

Clavil,
I use elrod sig 2 with puccini since I have JPS Aluminata interconnect. Before I have used acrolink 7n-pc7100. However I have Nordost Valhalla, Shunyata Anaconda and PAD Ann. as reserve cables. Keep in mind, every gear requires different cable. I used to have Pass Labs X250.5 now I have Krell Evo 402 which requires different order of powercords and cables for best result since I have Boulder 810 preamplifier. If I had ARC REF 3, than maybe another powercord would yield best outcome with DCS.

I heard it and it's cold and analytical, overblown images. Lot of sounds but not much music out of it.
More to discover
