RE: (strong)REVIEW: DCS Puccini CD Player/Recorder(/strong)

i've managed to compare the dCS Puccini against my non-SE EMM Labs CDSD+DCC2 a few weeks ago.

both players hv a somewhat diff presentation. the EMM Labs has more immediacy, more forward sounding, but a little flat & lacking ambient details (it's more akin to what you'd hear at a recording studio because of rapid decays & lack of hall-ambience). dCS on the other hand sounds has a deeper & wider soundstage (more ambience) - which i prefer when listening to large scale orchestras, or live-recorded performances.

both are well tonally balanced, but EMM definitely beats dCS in bass weight & extension. resolution-wise, dCS definitely beats EMM Labs. both are good players but leave me yearning for more (& at these prices, i don't see why i should not hv my cake & eat it too).
