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?

Try to have an audition with MSB Dac IV ... Taking into consideration the cost of Scarlatti then you should have an audition of Platinum Dac IV Signature or Diamond (even better)... Otherwise, you should check Esoteric P-03,D-03 together with the G-0Rb...
I heard latest top MSB. I think they have some problems with HF.
Low dynamic and resolution in highs.
I now think that APL will win this battle, because digital cable is a dramatic problem!
I only worry about tubes inside:)
Swinnindia, If any chance to get Lavry Gold, you'll be impressed!
Pure analogue sound!
What is it KK? You sure it is better than Tidal?
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.

Hello Schwinnindia!
We have one pair of KK in Russia.
May be I'll ask for audition.
I'm preparing great comparision of best speakers in the world.
Tidal Sunray, Gryphon Trident and will ask to include KK to this list if you think it is comparable.
Hello Murat,

I think you are correct! :-)

I only worry about tubes inside:)

The pair of the vintage E182CC tubes is outside the player, not inside. :-) The tube stage is a classic transformer-coupled design. The NWO linearity is within 0.1dB in the hearing range, so no "tubey sound" here. :-)

I'm preparing great comparision of best speakers in the world.

Perhaps you are overlooking the Gravitas NB-1?

Best,
