No, Iâve locked the credit card away for the time being 
, and am very happy with what Iâve got. If I change anything it will probably be the loudspeakers next. That, though (according to my wife) is some way off!!

After a night day of figuring out the color , finally I came to decision of having it it silver , as it matches the Valhalla 2 cables in time to come , and also the design of the panels under my lighting ambience , displaying the line works of the Rossini in my audio room . Thanks guys for all your inputs !
Will take 3-4 weeks to reach me 
canât wait

They do look nicer in silver.
I see you have a esoteric sacd player, can i ask which one it is.

Hi Dunc , the model is K05 Xs . Since you asking , I have a question if I may ⌠if a cd player plays sacd , and if I use it as a transport , will the dcs dac be able to receive sacd decoding from the esoteric ? Thanks
If it canât , which I donât have an answer , then I have to get a dCS transport , which is costly
Hi @Dunc ignore the question , I got the answer already 
It wonât but you already know.
I guess you want to get rid of the pre amp?
Its what i would 100% do if you can, plus i am sure it will sound better

Am after these 2 coming year, was having a discussion w the dealer on what is my needs, I have quite a collection of sacd , for now I can use my esoteric to decode the sacd format and digital out to the Rossini and it reads. But if I want a full dcs sound , of cos the transport will the the one . And then the vavaldi clock . So it depends on whatâs my move .

Itâs certainly nice looking gear.

I would go with the transport 1st. This should be an inpovement over the esoteric.
Obviously the biggest inpovement will come from the sacd side, using the dcs rossini dac.
You can also slave the dcs transport to the dacâs clock, until you get a clock.
The clock will bring a much better inpovement once you tie a few bitâs together as well.

Wonder how will Rossini / Vivaldi sound w the new verese clock ? It has a new tech called Tomix and heard from dealer this clock is a killer that makes the verese sound out of the world. Itâs ÂŁ12k more than the Vivaldi clock.
Having said this , the connection are totally different , from the rosinni / Vivaldi stacks . The new connection is only found in versese
It is a completely new way to clock and wonât work with the lina, bartok, rossini or vivaldi.
No doubt we will get more upgrades that have come from designing the Versese, like the apex upgrade we have already had. As more things have already been said are coming next year for the range. So hopefully nice new upgrades and hopefully free as well.

@Dunc @Andyblain hi guys⌠may I ask ⌠the rosinni comes in 6V as default . And it sound fuller (to me ) than the 2V. But 6 V is like for direct into power amp without pre⌠I am using a pre . Is it alright for me to continue w the 6V?
I read on dCS forum on this matter. And. Many had actually use 6V despite using a pre.
Couldnât let go the 6V sound for me . Itâs better for me
I have mine set to 2v. It all depends on your amplifier, and whether you are using the DACâs inbuilt pre-amp. To my ears, any sound quality differences are minuscule. I would just experiment with the 3 settings, but as gain is affected, keep the volume control low when changing.

Thanks⌠6V is fuller and slightly forward . but not as clean as 2V . Shall keep experimenting sound. dCS recommend 2V if using pre. Hence I post to ask you guys . Thanks again

The difference between the different voltage outputs is small, plus hard to 100% recreate due to having to match the volume on the amp to compensate.
Also the apex board has made a difference and the difference between then is either very small or nothing if you go with whatâs been said.
Obviously you need to be careful using the 6 volt out, especially if you have a pre amp in the mix as lotâs wonât like 6 volts going into them. This can cause clipping and distortion. Also directly into an amp could cause the same issues. You just need to go with what works best in your system, 2 volts is probably the main one people use.
I can set the input sensibility on my integrated amp to match what itâs receives individual on each input. So i do run the 6 volts into it, this helps me get more volume in pure class A, well i donât actually ever get out of class A, as itâs plenty loud enough, but at 2 volts i would probably dip into class B on some tracks.

Thanks Dunc for the reply . very useful information too
See you have the naim 332 pre amp, not 100% sure but i think its 2.2 volts input on them.
If so banging 6 volts into probably isnât a good idea.
I also see you have the 350âs, ever trying going directly into them? Would be interesting to see how you found it.
