I've had the dCS Delius DAC and Purcell up-sampler for about 4 years and the Verdi transport for two. The sound is exceptionally transparent, neither harsh nor lush and includes detail missed by most other systems. It doesn't have digital fatigue. The Delius has 6 filters to adjust sonics. I'd greatly recommend the Purcell to up-sample to 176 or 192 for some of the best digital sound you will hear. Later series will decode SACD when played on the dCS Verdi transport. Up-grading is expensive. I'm happy now so will probably not upgrade unless there is a major industry shift to SACD. Hope you can autition the dCS equipment. Chuck
