No it is not true, I currently have 2 DCCs in one of my S27s.  It does require
modified DCC and OK power supplies.  If you call your sales rep or local 
FE he/she should be able to set you up with the "upgrade kit".

FYI I haven't loaded the system with all 8 trays as they haven't been 
available for one reason or another.  So I cannot with any honesty swear that
the system won't start smoking when they all get plugged in, but if you're 
interested and patient (like about 3 weeks worth of patient) I'll let you
know after I have them installed.  (Read lots of :^) here 'cuz I'm very
confident it will be just fine)
