New dCS Puccini 1,21 version

Info I got from dCS today:

What’s new in v1.21?

The new software adds some useful new features to the Puccini Player. The new features added since v1.12 are:

1. In addition to the 4 DSD filters, this release adds a choice of 3 DSP filters when playing CDs or receiving 44.1kS/s data. These are:

“Classic” (the same as the original filter),

“Long” (a symmetrical filter with improved anti-imaging performance) and

“Asymmetric” (an apodising filter with a similar frequency response to the “Long” filter but with no pre-ringing).

When changing filters using the remote control, the MUTE button flips between setting the DSD filter (if available) and setting the DSP filter.

2. The performance in DSD mode has been improved.

3. Occasional problems with the Display-Off timeout have been corrected.

WOW ! Cannot wait !

I was told in November.

No idea. Need to ask dCS.

I just got mine in the mail yesterday. Didn't have the time to upload it though.

It will take a while. I have Reimyo CDP-777 connected in my system right now, need to put the Puccini back, get re-accustomed to its sound first, and then try the new software.

But most SACD's sound better with DSD upsampling.

There is no 'DSD upsampling' when playing SACD. SACD discs are already is DSD format ;)
