I bought my Verdi used from one dealer in Audiogon and the unit has been sent for check up at dcs Usa. They said the drive board was defective and had it replaced. After only 3 months (less than 100 hours) my Verdi started to have difficulty reading the cd and sacd again. My local technician believes it was the laser pickup and replaced it with a brand new one. It still doesn't work. At which point I start to wonder if I should look for the Verdi Encore which I understand has fewer problems. It turned out the problem wasn't the laser pickup, just some particular wiring that's gone bad. Cost of the new wire? About 5 Usd.
Dcs Verdi VS Verdi Encore
Can someone please give me the info of Verdi and Verdi Encore? I understand that Verdi Encore uses Drive mechanism from Philips while the original Verdi used Sony and the reason for the change was because the Sony mechanism was quite unreliable, is that the case, and if yes how trouble free is the Encore?
