A new "best" CD/SACD Player?

Hi-Rez Highway

New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

I saw the new dCS player yesterday. A two box machine called "Scarlatti". That's the same name for both boxes unlike the practice with current product. The transport /upsampler uses a custom built version of the Esoteric Neo mechanism. Only mechanical and optical parts are used, all of the electronics are dCS' own. The DAC is described as a new generation i.e. it is not just an upgrade to the Elgar Plus. It still uses a ring DAC but apparently things have been incorporated that were not feasible in the earlier design. Styling is similar but not completely identical to the picture of the transport posted before Christmas and sourced from the Tokyo trade show.
Retail price? I am guessing (a knowledgable guess) circa 30K g.b.p or a little under $60K for the two.
Sadly I didn't hear it but I may have the opportunity once there is enough stock available.
