DCS Puccini and/or Soulution 740 players? Anyone??


All,

I'm curious if anyone has listened to these players.

From other threads I've seen that DCS doesn't have a big following in the US probably partly because of the price. Can anyone describe the sound? I saw somewhere that people found it to be better than the Emm Labs equipment and that DCS has become more musical than the older DCS equipment.

The other player I'm very curious about is the new Soulution 740 player. A relatively new high-end brand from Switzerland. Apparently the player had its introduction at the CES 2008. Has anyone listened to it and does it is so much better than the other player considering its price?

Thanks for your feedback.

SDR 4000 is player only, Berkeley is stand alone DAC with volume control, so you could drive your FM 611 direct.
Bvdiman, read carefully, I have said that I listened Scarlatti play in two different systems
I have listened to all Soulution system in Munich, and the sound on Transrotor TT was overly bright. With CDP it was allmost unlistenable, but problem was I think in silver plated IC cables.
dCS is cold sterile and not musical at all, listened to Puccini on best new VTL preamp, S 400 amps, Wilson Maxx2 and top of the line transparent cables MM2
I heard it and it's cold and analytical, overblown images. Lot of sounds but not much music out of it.
Mert, with "wrong" associated gear and cables Puccini can and does sound dull and underwhelming. dCS to me is like computer audio.
New one is not much better, heard Scarlatti on the DartZeel and ProAc D100; and on full Spectral/SDR 4000, DMC 30SS, DMA 250)/MIT/Magico Mini II system. SDR 4000 was so much musical and involving then Scarlatti.
