keiserrg, in response, I think you made a wise choice on skipping a Lumin -- i have tested a few lumins and did not find them appealing. However, I did hear the Innuos Zenith with the Phoenix and it was excellent as a server/player. The Phoenix makes a huge upgrade. The best server/player i have heard is the new Aurender W20SE, but it is $22,500. I have not heard it on DCS equipment, but did hear it on my Light Harmonics Dual Dac and it was amazing. I have been told Aurender mates very well with DCS, but I don't know.
DCS Rossini + Digital or Puccini + CDs?
Hello fellow AGers. This question is specifically directed to DCS owners. I have a simple system that I find nice but certainly not on par with the real Audiophiles in this forum. In particular, I have:
DCS Puccini
DCS Puccini clock
Jadis DA88S integrated amp
Sonus Faber Guarneri (original Homage)
My question is this:
Will I get better sound from my current setup, feeding in my 1,000+ CD collection, or with a DCS Rossini, after digitizing my CD collection?
(I am not interested in keeping the CDs and buying the Rossini with transport)
Thank you!
