dCS Scarlatti CD / SACD Transport.
One fastidious audiophile owner from new (purchased June 2010) and all in excellent condition (some very small marks and wear to the lettering as highlighted in the photos) and full working order.
Running latest firmware. Fully boxed with manual.
Please see our other listings for more Scarlatti components from the same owner – will combine shipping and pass on any savings in shipping costs where achievable.
230V ~ 50/60Hz Operation.
Description:
Scarlatti Transport uses the TEAC Esoteric VRDS Neo mechanism which employs super-rigid construction and a brushless motor with heavy flywheel for stable disc rotation. All signal processing and electronics in the transport have been designed by dCS.Scarlatti Transport features both IEEE 1394 FireWire link and an enhanced Dual AES interface which output dCS-encrypted DSD (1-bit data at 2.822MHz) to a dCS DAC from CD or SACD. Scarlatti Transport upsamples CD data to DSD and transmits the data over the 1394 or Dual AES interface. SACDs are played in their native DSD format, again over the IEEE 1394 or Dual AES interface. Native CD data is available from 7 PCM outputs (2x AES/EBU and 4x S/PDIF, 1x SDIF-2), as is downsampled SACD data.Scarlatti Transport is designed for use with the matching Scarlatti DAC or any suitable industry-standard DAC. The unit may be run in Master mode or by using the DAC as the system clock. Performance will be enhanced further by adding the Scarlatti Clock to the system.The latest enhancement to Scarlatti Transport is the new output mode which reconfigures the two AES outputs as a dual AES output carrying encrypted DSD data. This mode is compatible with Paganini, Scarlatti and Vivaldi DACs.Key Features:Upsamples Red Book CDs to DSD format and plays SACDs in their native format.Uses a TEAC VRDS NEO mechanism which employs super-rigid construction and a brushless motor with heavy flywheel for stable disc rotation.All dCS products use a sophisticated multi-mode Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL), which significantly reduces clock jitter.Improved power supplies give lower running temperature and increased tolerance to AC supply variations.Aerospace-grade aluminium chassis and laminated acoustic damping panels reduce magnetic effects and vibration.Low-power LC display makes the user interface easier to read, keeps power requirements down and minimises electrical noise.Soft approach to programmable logic allows new software to be loaded from a dCS update CD to add new features and adapt to changes in digital formats.Specifications:TypeUpsampling CD/SACD Transport.ColourSilver or Black.MechanismDual laser CD/SACD mechanism (TEAC VRDS NEO mechanism).Dimensions513mm/20.2 x 424mm/16.7 x 140mm/5.5. Allow extra depth for cable connectors.Weight19.6kg/43.2lbs.Digital OutputsIEEE 1394 interface on 2x 6-way connectors. The interface outputs dCS-encrypted DSD (1 bit data at 2.822MS/s).
2x AES/EBU on 3-pin male XLR connectors. Each outputs CD format data (16 bits at 44.1kS/s), whether a CD or SACD is playing. The two AES outputs can be configured as a dual AES output carrying encrypted DSD data.
2x SPDIF on 1x RCA Phono and 1x BNC connectors. Each outputs CD format data, whether a CD or SACD is playing.
1x SPDIF optical on a Toslink connector, outputs CD format data, whether a CD or SACD is playing.
1x SDIF-2 interface on 2x BNC connectors, outputs CD format data, whether a CD or SACD is playing.Upsampling RatesCD data may be upsampled to DSD.Wordclock I/Oworldclock InputsWord Clock input on 1x BNC connector, accepts standard Word Clock at 44.1 or 88.2kHz. Sensitive to TTL levels.
Word Clock output on 1x BNC connector. With the transport in Master mode, a TTL-compatible 44.1kHz Word Clock derived from the internal crystal oscillator is available on this output.Clock AccuracyBetter than +/-10 ppm when shipped (not temperature compensated).Software UpdatesUpdates loaded by CD via Scarlatti Transport.Local ControlNevo Q50 programmable remote control is supplied with the Transport, programmed to control the Scarlatti system or RS232. Nevo Q50 may be programmed further by the owner or installer, to control other products.Power SupplyFactory set for 100, 115, 220 or 230V AC, 49-62Hz.Power Consumption25 Watts typical/40 Watts maximum.
