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?

Hi murataltuev,

I mainly use Hifi tuning fuses. Although I do have some furutech.

I am amazed you find the highs in the DCS are soft. Of all the digital I have heard DCS has always had great impact in the highs Not hard or bright but vivid.

Did you say which speakers you use?

Do you use any of the filters in the DCS DAC?

I look forward to hearing the GTE some time. Although I have enough on my plate sorting out new amps.. But that is another story!
Chadeffect, I use Filter1, is it right?
Don't understand me wrong.
dCS has better highs than Berkely or MSB or any other DAC I heard except GTE, Lavry Gold and my TT.
So, I say soft in compare with this 3 sources!
Hi Murataltuev,
Filter 1 is what I use. Some people like Filter 2. Obviously I need to try the GTE. I must 1st decide on an amp!
Speakers must be matched with room.
Amp with Speakers. Preamp with amp.
But DAC must be just the best!
This is what I learned:)
