DCS DACs vs each other

HI, I have a DCS rossini and clock in my main system.  I love it and it's been great no complaints.  I have a studio I am putting together and want a DAC with volume control that I can feed from my Audio interface via XLR digital and then feed an amp for my Wilson Duette speakers.  Sure I'd love another Rossini but that is out of the question price wise.  I am thinking of something used.  How does the Scarlatti stack up vs the Debussey vs the Elgar etc.  That 5K price range is where I'm looking.  Also Bricasti maybe???  or ?

OK thanks for the info I did a little research and ordered a Pure 2.  If this works out I'll have saved a bundle.  Thanks for the advice

I'm really curious how is Pure 2 serving you. Particularly in contrast with other gear you have used. Some light on that will really be helpful for others.

I have not compared directly to the Rossini, they are in different systems.  I can say that I am very happy with the sound I am getting though.  It's a little quirky how you have to go into software to change routings but other than that I think it sounds really good and I like it much better than the Chord Quetest.  If I ever get it up against the DCS Rossini and clock I will report back.
