Which shows how TRULY FAR ahead of the curve dCS are here. If only the damn things didn't cost so much... < < <Interesting. I was actually reading in 2 seperate mags last night about the dCS products and both were reporting much the same as you posted, to paraphrase: Yes, indeed you need the dCS DAC processor as its one of 2 that truly output 192 wordlength. YOur conclusion sums it up: if onyl the damn things didn't cost so much.
I believe I am going to go after the $12k combo myself and wait perhaps until 2nd generation SACD machines make their way out (if they make their way out) from the high end manufacturers before I become involved again. I have an abundance of discs that I know will take forever to see the light of day on SACD that I am just dying to hear on the upsamplere and I believe my pal (who owns both the dCS products and the SCD-1) is getting mighty sick of seeing me showing up at his front porch 3 times a week with a handful of shiny discs. I also just discovered Monday that my dealer began carrying the dCS line last week which means I have trade in availablility towards these products which should come in handy.
