I borrowed a dcs 'Scarlatti' for the weekend and compared it to a Lavry 924 and the MSB Platinum, the DCS had the highest resolution of all three, not by a huge amount mind , particularly nice treble I thought, this was just solely with CD....

Paul SI don't have vinyl playback at the moment. My source is an MSB Platinum Data IV transport with transport power base, fed into a Metrum Hex dac. The amp is an Ars Sonum Filharmonia. So there isn't much of a power drain. Also: cabling is...
