Is there any synth out there that has the sound quality of U-He Diva?

Define "quality"

"Oooh I dont know. Sounds a bit scary"
"It's not scary. You just lose a sense of who you are and all that sh!t"

I do think Oxium has a quality that reminded me of DIVA, when you have a project going on with the usual suspects and you add DIVA you suddenly get new life into the project, it sounds full and comes through the mix.
Oxium does that too, it has a high quality filter. I don't know if it is as deep sounding as DIVA, but I has a very good quality high-end.
I don't have any other Xils-Lab synths though so I don't know about the others.
Another synth I've used that is quite good is Corona. Very different character, but the filter and resonance sound very authentic.
Largo has a really nice filter section, but it is a very different sound from DIVA.

The sound "quality" of most synths these days is extremely high 
Where Diva's quality is known for is its accurate modeling of various well known vintage hardware (filters, osc's, envelopes, etc.) and being able to combine them. So if you want the sound of the old analog hardware, then Diva is a great choice (if your cpu can handle it of course)
However, if you just want a good sounding synth, or many modulation possibilities, or a more distinct "digital" sound, or use wavetables, or whatever, then there are numerous other synths to try. Too many actually... lol

DIVA is built on modelled components of the Moog Minimoog, Korg MS-20, Roland Jupiter / Juno. Do some research into those hardware synths.Nielzie wrote:The sound "quality" of most synths these days is extremely high

??? If you want the sound quality of U-He Diva, well, whats wrong with getting Diva?
Why you need another one that has the sound quality of Diva?
Only reasons I can think of:
- you miss certain sounds Diva can't do, so you need a tool to do these but with the same high specs as Diva - if so, let know which sounds you're aiming for (and perhaps redefine the topic title)
- you can't get grips with the Diva GUI - yeah, can happen with any synth, but you're just unlucky, as Diva is Diva soundwise (and there are quite some other synths with good, comparable, sound quality, won't list them here but these are just, eh... different)
- you don't want to pay the price U-He asks for Diva - sorry, quality comes with a price. Just go for another, cheaper one with different features and a different sound (as stated above, there are quite some out there, also with a very good sound quality)
