Which would you buy: dCS Rossini non-Apex or dCS Bartok Apex?

@OP The answer to your question is that it depends on the listener's priorities in the context of a fixed budget. Like for like, the Rossini is better sounding than the Bartok. But the Apex upgrade has more flow and is smoother sounding than the pre-Apex. So there will be listeners who would prefer an Apex Bartok to a non Apex Rossini and vice versa. 

I just posted about a Bartok Apex I’m trying. First time I’ve heard dCS. How would

you all characterize the house sound compared to other comparable DAVs?

@vinylshadow is on to something
