Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti?

I have not had the chance to spend any time with the Playback Designs DAC, but I strongly prefer my EMM Labs DAC2 to the dCS gear.

OK Alex,

Scotch and top end DAC shoot out, sounds amazing, but I'd bring something a little more up to the situation like the 25 y/o Talisker or 21 Balvenie instead of Lagavulin, but then again, we might disagree on our preference in DACs too! I'd love to hear the NWO in a controlled situation, and would gladly put my EMM Labs combo into the mix!

Murataltuev,

Are you for real expecting me to believe your vinyl rig gives better dynamics than the dCS Scarlatti? I think you've miss-typed or spoken. I am not a huge fan of the dCS gear, but damn you just slammed the hell out of it!

I have heard many top level vinyl rigs and have a decent vinyl setup myself, but to say vinyl gives better dynamics??? PLEASE! Yes, smoothness, musicality, yep, buy these, but vinyl will never be able to equal the dynamic range of digital, hell even cheap digital will outdo vinyl in dynamics!
