Has any body compared these 2 players. I am thinking of adding 1 of them to my setup. They both have usb outs also so I can hook my computer up. Any help would be appreciated.
On the other hand; I had Emmlabs cdsa and switched to dCS Puccini and the sound was more powerfull, organic and with bigger soundstage; after latest firmware update and adding u-clock the sound improved more IMHO.
I am curious what kind of problems you've had, mine works perfectly, except for when I accidentally put a DVD-A disc into the transport, which seems to play them fine but doesn't output any signal as it's not built for these.....
I've only done this twice, and unfortunately both times it has been right after coming home from vacation, so I assume something happened, rechecked all wiring, preamp, you name it only to realize it's a non supported format. Sometimes we do dumb things.....
The DAC2 can't lock the incoming signal from the TSD1 neither through Opti nor AES when playing SACD. After a firmware update, it can play SACD now but not CD! So it fixed one problem and create another.
Moreover, last night the DAC2 can't power up no matter how I tried. Confirmed the fuse is still intact though.
I totally lost the confident of this brand no matter how good it sounds when it is working:(
You need to call them, sound like you drive is bad, but just a guess. I have had the DAC2 require a reboot once when it weouldn't lock onto a signal, but that has been my only glitch other than my idiocracy of trying to play DVD-A discs in it.....
Spent several hours listening to mine last night... I know of no other source that would keep me as happy!
