Delius/Purcell Combo w/o upgrades--a good deal??

Landru64
I have sold all my SFI gear and went all the way with the dCS gear. I bought the Purcell and the Delius from the Audiogon, sent them to dCS for the upgrade, they sounded great to the point that I bought the Verdi immediatly after. this is great gear and will give you pleasures for years to come. I would say go ahead make the jumb and then be ready to send them for upgrade. One of the benefits of doing so (if not for sonic benefits) is you get 5 year warranty when they come back to you.
good luck

yes...if you do the upgrades, they replace the cosmetic front and sides with the new black color. the upgrade cost is determined by age and serial no, might want to check that out before you purchase...

hard to beat the dcs stuff!

As a former owner of dCS equipment, I give you fair warning about their service.... horrible! I was very impressed with the combo, but after living with them for a while, I found them to be way too hi-fi sounding, not natural at all.

Myouseif,

Can you post or e-mail me a few words about what you think of the Verdi transport (compared to using other transports with the dCS Purcell and DAC). Thanks.
