dcs sound

Question for Jtinn, what kind of music do you primarily listen to? I'm going to check out the Audiomeca when I get a chance. The big difference I've heard in my dCS 972/Elgar compared to everything else I've heard including the Accuphase and the Burmeister, is the ability to unravel the sound of large scale orchestral works so that there is much more the impression of an orchestra playing Mahler or Stravinsky. I use a Sigtech and drive my monoblocks directly from the dCS so these difference are quite audible. Any comments?

the new elgar purcell upsamples to dsd also the elgar can play sacd right out of the box with their new transport. Does the audiomeca do this

There is no new transport.Yet

they start shipping to dealers september first

Plsl: I listen to mostly Classical and Jazz. Large orchestral as well as small ensemble. The Audiomeca handles it extremely well and never thins out the sound. I really loved my dCS gear and I would not have parted with it, if it were not for the remodeling. By chance I heard the Mephisto II with Enkianthus and I was very surprised. It gave me the depth and separation that I got from the dCS gear but retained the warmth and naturalness of the music.

If I were you, I would not run out and sell the dCS stuff, but I would urge you to compare them to the Audiomeca equipment and see if it does the same for you as it did for me.
