FS: pre-owned reference level dCS Scarlatti digital stack

Reference digital playback system from DCS. Consisting of SACD/CD transport, DAC, Upsampler and Masterclock, so the full Scarlatti stack. Silver finish. Fully equipped with Firewire cables and all non-SACD sources can be upsampled to DSD.

This is a 230v appliance.

To get the most out of digital-audio files on a computer or media server, the Scarlatti Upsampler provides a USB port and the ability to increase the sample rate and bit depth all the way up to 192kHz/24-bit PCM or 2.822MHz/1-bit DSD. It can also work its magic on data from the transport if desired, improving fine detail, soundstage depth, and imaging.

Very versatile, including an excellent preamplifier function, so no need for a seperate preamp! Including the optional Philips system remote, manuals and packaging. Newprice (Europe): 60.200 euro (pricelist available), was 29.500 euro and finally reduced to 22.500 euro, firm.

Please PM me if interested for details.

Stereophile review by Michael Fremer:

"The dCS Scarlatti is the best-sounding, most satisfying digital playback system I've heard...For me, the Scarlatti profoundly narrows the gap between analog and high-resolution digital, and for many it will surely close that gap altogether. Those with big SACD collections—and big bank balances—need to hear its effortlessly transparent, tonally neutral, airy performance as it decodes their favorite SACDs...The Scarlatti is also an exceptional CD player...the best CDs sounded more vibrant, dimensional, transparent, and effortless than I'd ever heard them...The price is steep, but it's the best digital I've heard."
