The thing that eliminated dCS from my considerations (if I were to have been in the market for a cost-no-object DAC) was the use of asynchronous sample-rate conversion (ASRC or SRC). The company's Purcell upsampling processor had rave reviews in some audio publications, then bam!!... The questionable technology in "24/192 upsampling" was then believed to be an advancement, and engulfed the DAC industry for about a decade. In my opinion, this "feature" set back the quality of CD playback, until recently. The use of asynchronous conversion has been slowly fading out of product lines, once people started realizing it was an overhyped "flavor of the month". (I remember the Ah Tjoeb CD player w upsampler being all the rage. Now it's a product people junk because they can't even sell it used.)
