Worlds Best Front End : Dcs - Now In India

awedeophile · #11 15th March 2008, 04:06 PM

Audio is highly subjective and hence when the manufacturer or dealer of a product claims "THE BEST CD PLAYER IN THE WORLD PERIOD", people tend to wonder. Please send me links of some independant reviews of this player - I couldn't find anything on google.

Further, can you tell me in what areas you find this player better when compared to the other's you have heard?

Also, what was the associated equipment, was the same equipment used to compare all and what was the chain when you heard the Scarlatti?

It would be great to get this information.

Dear SNV,

You are right - Sound is absolutely subjective.

Also agreed that Analogue is the ultimate but try to listen again EMM-CDSD with DCC2SE, Reimyo DCT-777 with DAP-777, Blue Note Stibbert, Audio Aero Capitole, Luxman D-N100 & Audio Research Reference CD7 - These are also extreme digital machines and sounds very Analogue.

But I am not denying here that dCS is not sounding Analogue!

One more name in analogue sounding 'digital' is AMR - Abbingdon Music Research - AM-77.

All the best with dCS & have a great success!

Cheers,

JK

Dear awedeophile,

The only English review of the dCS Scarlatti is done by Whathifi UK.
The others are in different languages.

Im afraid im not at liberty to disclose what equipment we used to hear the dCS gear.
One thing though, the amplification and speakers remained same when tested with different flagship models of cd players.

SIr,

You have put forward some renowned names, no doubt.
I dont wish to compare or comment on the brands you have mentioned.
But you need to hear the Scarlatti and you will as soon as I have it in stock.

With regard to AMR, I heard the CD77 reference model 3 weeks ago in UK with Krell amplification and Wilson Benesch speakers.

The plot thickens! You (DCS, etc.) do tests and claim that you make the best product in the world PERIOD but won't disclose the test criteria or associated equipment used?

Dear 'audiophile'

I shall invite you to hear the Scarlatti system when it comes in. I can only hope that your conclusion is the same.

There is no need for you to accept or agree to any of my claims.

As mentioned earlier - ITS MY CLAIM, MY OPINION OF THE PRODUCT.

Cheers
SNV

awedeophile · #17 15th March 2008, 05:06 PM

Yes sir, you are absolutely entitled to your opinion.

Since you made your claim publicly in an open forum and stated that the product you sell beats or out-classes the products I mentioned, I am very interested in knowing your basis of the claim, purely to expand my scope of knowledge in the subject and not to pass any judgements.

Please take it in the right spirit.

Dear awedeophile,

Absolutely taken in the right spirit. My constraint is that I am just not at liberty to disclose the associated equipment we used to compare.

Maybe someday when my limitations have been called off, I could let you know.

Sir, MY ears regard dCS as the best. Hence I decided to distribute the brand in India.

Sometimes when a company launches exceptional products they deserve bold claims, IMO.

dCS has considerable expertise to produce fine digital equipment and they have been doing so for the past 20 years.

dCS are world leaders in digital audio conversion technology. Their products have been acknowledged as state-of-the-art by recording engineers and discerning audiophiles all around the world.

Dear JK,

Just emailed you some snaps of AMR/KRELL/WB set up I heard.
Have a look.

Dear SNV,

Understood.

I would still be very keen to learn of the differences you heard, if you might indulge me - I hope you are at liberty to discuss that.
