Thanks AudioGuy123. Your answer was very helpful. Based on what I saw on the ASLGroup website it will cost about US$7000 (including shipping) to get both units upgraded to current spec! I haven't had my math verified by anyone at ASL OR dCS yet. Thanks for the info. about using the Verdi without the upgrades. That wasn't an option I had considered.
Has anyone had dCS Elgar/Purcell Upgrades done?
I purchased older models of the dCS Elgar and Purcell on the used market. I am very impressed at the improvement in the sound of CDs in my system. I am now considering purchasing a Verdi Transport, but I must upgrade both the Elgar and Purcell units to take full advantage of the Verdi's DSD upsampling.
I have a number of questions:
Has anyone else had the upgrade done?
Since I did not purchase the Elgar and Purcell from a dealer, how can I arrange to have the upgrades done?
About how much will it cost? (the Elgar is about 5 years old, the Purcell about 3 years old).
How long does dCS take to do the upgrade?
What's the best way to ship them to the UK?
Any insight is appreciated.
