Note:  This unit does not upgrade the u-clock spidf signals to the RCA inputs to DSD.  I have been told by the factorty that this can be repaired for approximately $300.  I have elected not to have the repair done because I don't notice much difference when CDs are upgraded to DSD.  I have reduced the price to about $1,000 less than charged for other used Puccini Players to account for this.
Please see my other add for the Puccini U-Clock, sold separately.  Does not include the Stillpoint feet.
DCS Puccini Player
Built to the highest specification, Puccini features a sleek, solid aluminium fascia, high grade aluminium casing, metal buttons and a smooth transport mechanism. Whether in CD, SACD or DAC mode, Puccini will extract every last bit of detail from your music, bringing a realism to the experience that you have never heard before.
In common with the Scarlatti and Paganini ranges, Puccini uses our proprietary DSD signal processing and dCS Ring DAC™. When playing a CD or a source via the digital inputs, Puccini can upsample conventional PCM to DSD and offers the choice between PCM or DSD playback.
A number of optimised DSP filter options elevate the performance further and allow listeners to use Puccini as a standalone DAC or the ultimate one-box CD/SACD player.
Puccini sets the performance standard for single-box CD/SACD players and DACs by optimising key dCS technologies in one stunning chassis. It also features a digital volume control (allowing you to connect directly to a power amplifier), as well as two digital inputs so other digital sources in your system can benefit from the onboard dCS Ring DAC™. A precision VCXO clock generator is housed in Puccini, and this can also be synchronised to an external master clock to further reduce jitter and improve performance.

Questions for the seller
What do you mean by "this unit does not upgrade rca inputs to dsd" ? Do you mean it doesnt convert pcm signals sent through spdif to dsd ? Does it play SACDs without problems ?
Yes, the inputs from the u-clock spidf do not upgrade to dsd. The latest (last) software update should have done this, but did not. The factory tells me it is a software issue that they can repair. It plays CDs and SACDs without problems, and upgrades them to DSD.
