Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti?


I heard about new DACs on the market better than Scarlatti.
StahlTek Vekian and GTE Audio.
Someone compared them with Scarlatti?
Any other DAC compared with dcs?

I too use Filter 2 on my dCS Scarlatti.
I have the DAD [Digital Audio Denmark] with me.
The new 'player' to have joined the club is 'Ayon Skylla'

The GTE - I have heard with Lansche - German.
Was too 'analytical' for my taste.
However, the GTE with the KK is 'supposed' to be from a different league;
I look forward to hearing the KK with the GTE next month in HK on the 6th @ Audio Show.
The KK in Mumbai [India] plays really well.
I like it more than my Tidal speaker....[sorry no offence intended to any person] !

I want to learn more about this Larvy Gold DAC.
Any inputs may be appreciated.
Currently also looking @ a DAC from Poland...

What I need help with is - Digital Out from a computer on I2S. How do I manage that ? My Ayon works best with an I2S Input.. Any suggestions ? Please.
Thanks.

p.s. Do keep me informed of the dCS / APL / GTE 'shoot out' in August ! Should be interesting..
Hello Murat !

KK = Kaiser Kaweru.
The 1st pair in India has been installed by me in Mumbai. It is a lovely speaker. We would love to get the GTE for it, but the finances just do not add up - very sad.
The speaker is 'supposed' to play its best with the GTE. Currently they play through Cadence Canasya - 845 tube mono amps. The DAC is Bow Technologies - Denmark. The pre is Allnic from Korea.

The Lavry I will 'work' on. I have a DAD [Digital Audio Denmark] for sale. Once that goes, I will call for a Gold DAC.
