converter type
CD data is available as native 16/44.1 and upsampled to DSD.
SACD data is available as native DSD and down-sampled to 16/44.1.
analogue outputs N/A
digital I/O
OUTPUTS
IEEE 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.
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 PCM interface on 2x BNC connectors, outputs CD format data,
whether a CD or SACD is playing.
word clock I/O
INPUT
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. The calibration
accuracy when shipped is +/-10ppm, not temperature compensated.
OUTPUT
Word Clock Input on 1x BNC connector, accepts standard word clock at
44.1kHz. Sensitive to TTL levels.
clock frequencies 44.1kHz in Master Mode.
Calibrated within +/-10ppm,  not temperature compensated.
residual noise N/A
spurious responses N/A
filters N/A
software updates Updates loaded by CD-R.
software version 1.00
local control Philips Pronto� programmable remote control is supplied
with the Scarlatti Transport, or RS232.
The current dCS configuration for the Pronto is 2.10. 
power supply
Factory set for 100, 115, 220 or 230  V  AC, 49 � 62Hz.
power consumption 25 Watts typical/ 40 Watts maximum.
"Can any CD/SACD player be worth that much money? What we will say is
that this disc spinner is the finest sounding digital player we've
heard, and we've heard a few..."
World's Most Desirable Kit, What Hi-Fi
�To be honest the Scarlatti makes all other CD spinners sound
positively crude�

Scarlatti CD/SACD Transport: Rating
Key Features
    Scarlatti Transport upsamples Red Book CDs to DSD format and plays
SACDs in their native format.
    All dCS products use a sophisticated multi-mode phase locked loop
(PLL), which significantly reduces clock jitter.
    Faster, 100% accurate DSPs (within the bounds of their resolution)
give improved filters revealing yet more fine detail.
    Higher capacity FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) give more
logic capacity and increase the scope for additional features and
enhancements.
    Improved power supplies give lower running temperature and
increased tolerance to AC supply variations.
    16-bit micro-controller for a generally improved control system.
    Aero grade aluminium chassis and laminated acoustic damping
panels, reduce magnetic effects and vibration.
    The Scarlatti range features a low-power LCD display that makes
the user interface easier to read, keeps the power requirements down
and minimizes electrical noise.
    Our �soft' approach to programmable logic allows dCS products to
adapt to changes in digital formats and add new features.
    Scarlatti Transport uses the Esoteric VRDS NEOTM mechanism
featuring a brushless motor with heavy flywheel for stable disc
rotation and super rigid construction.

Mi pare un indizio piuttosto forte che il mondo dell'HiFI vada verso
la musica liquida...se uno non rifiuta di vederlo.

Sì, assolutamente, sì!
