DCS Scarlati v Esoteric P-01,D-01

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....

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.
