DCS Puccini and/or Soulution 740 players? Anyone??
Kops, in what areas did you feel the Puccini improved (I'm supposing it does...) over our Emm?

Gryphonaudio, with all respect to the no-doubt wonderful sounding Mikado CD player, this Australian article does not explain how it is using the off-the-shelve AKM 32bit DAC in its design. Btw, this DAC has been around for the most part of 2008 an...

Bigpond, plenty of 24bit software out there, for years. Just look at acousticsounds.com you'll find DVD 24/96, HDAD 24/96 and 24/192. Couple of hundred titles. It's a niche format like DSD/SACD, but nothing 32bit out there yet.

Bob, if I tell you I'd have to shoot you ... just kidding. To be honest their exact complete physical/psychological workings are beyond my tiny brain. But like any audiophile I try and make up my own opinion by trying them out. And I didn't just t...

... that was my point, 32 bit processing capability without 32 bit recordings out there ...We'll get there eventually, but anyone boasting about their DAC being able to process 32bit is getting a little ahead of themselves IMHO!

Any 32bit recordings you want to share with us?

Shadorne, all of FC's products are amazing tuning devices ... the size of the speaker was not a criteria for me, although size has certain advantages, as was a life-like music experience. If that sound came in a smaller package it would have convi...

... plus a dozen sugar cubes, several strategically placed diffusors and a phase corrector... all from Franck Tchang's Acoustic Systems!

Shadorne, not that I have the perfect room (its my living room) but 15 acoustic resonators are doing there work to great effect.

The best speaker is one that is just not there. I mean a speaker that appears to be physically gone - vanished - a speaker that does not get in the way of the original music. The music is just there in front of you, or around you, depending on how... 
DCS Puccini and/or Soulution 740 players? Anyone??
Nolitan, no you can't, that's a two box player ... we're talking one box here. Nothwithstanding that, the Accuphase cannot do ALL music well anyway, such as rock, metal like the Dcs and Soulution can, even their top combo. I've tried.Expanding the...

Ted, agree on you with the Puccini, the Soulution really can sound like one of the best though... 
which interconnect cable w/ playback designs mps-5
Dave, good value is my Audioquest ITA 1/1 with ITC-24G/BNC terminations as interconnect from MPS-5 to Dart pre through the 50 Ohm Zeel in/outputs... that sound at that cost is value my friend. 
which interconnect cable w/ playback designs mps-5
Dave, I thought the Audioquest SKY was good when I tested it a while back, they have something way beyond the SKY now at 3X the price too ... try that! 
which interconnect cable w/ playback designs mps-5
I'm currently using the Evolution Acoustics interconnects from Playback to Dart pre and I am evaluating a gold BNC terminated audio cable by Audioquest. This cable has a very pure central copper conductor, the cable costs nothing and sounds amazin...
