Parameter name: index One point dCS wanted me to get across to potential buyers of this system, or of any of the individual components, is that every Elgar ever made can be upgraded to current specs, and that that policy will continue. Whatever the future of digital audio brings, your investment in expensive dCS components should be protected.What you get for $33,985 Explaining what you get for your $34k is somewhat easier than explaining upsampling, but due to the dCS gear's enormous flexibility and multitude of features, it's not that much easier.The new Verdi SACD transport ($10,995) is based on a fast-reading, drawer-loading Sony transport with two lasers (one each for CD and SACD). It outputs the encrypted 1-bit, 2.822MS/s DSD data via an IEEE1394 bus. Standard CD 16-bit/44.1kHz data are available via three AES/EBU XLR jacks (using two in dual AES/EBU configuration can get you 176.4kHz and 192kHz sample rates), four S/PDIF jacks (RCA, BNC, TosLink optical, and optional ST optical), and Sony's SDIF-2 interface, which carries the wordclock on a separate link. CD data can also be upsampled to DSD using dCS's IEEE1394-equipped Purcell DDC.The Verdi can be used in conventional manner, but it also includes a word-clock input that allows it to be synchronized to an outboard master clock, or to the Elgar Plus or (lower-priced) Delius DACs operating in master mode. Like other dCS products, the Verdi is upgradeable via CD-ROM or from a PC, when such upgrades become available. A hefty anodized aluminum remote control is included.The Purcell DDC is capable of upsampling and increasing word length of 16/44.1 data to 24/88.2, 24/96, 24/176.4, 24/192, or DSD. The Purcell is based on dCS's 972 professional DDC. dCS says the Purcell uses the same DSP engine and code as the 972 and sounds identical. The instruction manual says that dCS has carried out listening tests using CDs manufactured from 24/96 digital masters and has found that upsampling reveals information present in the master source but inaudible during regular CD playback—though why this should be so, since upsampling can't increase the amount of information in the signal, remains a mystery. If you don't buy the upsampling voodoo, you can skip the Purcell and connect the Verdi directly to the Elgar Plus and play CDs as CDs and SACDs as SACDs. A second remote controls both the Purcell and the Elgar.The Elgar Plus improves on the Elgar's performance and operation by adding DSD decoding via FireWire or SDIF-2 interfaces and by allowing it to slave to a word clock or act as a master clock. It also adds a digital output and an improved and extended menu system. Because the Plus, like the original Elgar, can decode 24/96 and 24/192 data, you can connect a DVD-V player's 24/96 bitstream (if available—many DVD players downconvert to 24/48) and decode DAD discs. Like all dCS DACs, the Elgar Plus uses the company's proprietary Ring DACs for digital conversion. A dCS spokesperson impressed on me the fact that virtually every other company making DACs and CD players uses off-the-shelf, chip-based DACs made by other companies, and that it was only because of dCS's contracts with the UK military that the company could afford the R&D needed to design and build such precision devices in the first place. The Elgar Plus's software-driven DSP is upgradeable via a CD player or, via a rear port, a PC.The Elgar has both digital-domain balance and volume controls, so you can plug it directly into your power amplifier.
