Hi Florent, finally received my new front end. The new DCS Scarlatti. The sound is utterly amazing.
I dont want to start the whole amp thing off again. But with nothing added or taken away, I seem to be left with just a stunning insight into any CD you pop in. I really was not ready for that kind of difference in sound.
The new clock is frightening something beyond what I have heard in a clock before.(the clock arrived first). Its like getting some amazing preamp that focuses the soundstage and gives a warm almost valve like palpable warmth to the midrange. It is a lot of money though and cant be called a bargin. But I know of no other way to get that kind of information recovery from a CD.
There is talk of a DCS room correction device with extremely high sample rate/sound quality to take on Tact. Might be interesting...
