New Emm Labs TSD-1/Dac-2 vs DCS Puccini

Just heard the XDS1. It seems to be working much better than previous models.

yes, XDS1 uses the Esoteric drive which supposed to be the best disk mechanism money can buy.

I understand the new one is very good but it costs 25000 $.
Don't you think that a cd player like the cdsase that cost 10000 $ should be perfect and very reliable?

Its a shame that it having these problems. For 10000 I would expect a little better quality control. Unfortunately I will probably cross this one off my list. Its like buying an expensive sports car and having the transmission slip all the time. It makes it pretty much useless.

One thing to say is that maybe only mine cd player and few
others had problems. The player is a big seller and like
others things (like cars) someone could be very unlucky
and get problems.When it will come back from the service I
hope it will work perfect.
