About the EMM Labs DAC

Gladstone- Of course you would :o)

Fmpnd,
What a review!
>If you are ever in the Metro Detroit area
I really appreciate your honest review and invitation.
because of this I have read all information on EMM Lab on their web page. It is former pro equipment.
I wish they build 2 channel version of it (I do not need 6 channel) DAC. Maybe as 2ch it would be more affordable (like used Wadia). But you got me thinking.
Out of (Accuphase 75V, GNU Wadia 860, an Audio Aero Capitole MK-II (with the P-934,743 chip - LOL!), a Linn CD-12, a Sonic Frontiers T3/P3 and a Cary 306 ) what (beside of course of EMM Lab) have you liked? Maybe you would be able to put them in some order. It could be interesting!
Seems to me that you are very audio-experienced man.
Hope some day used 2ch EMM's will be on auiodgon's classifieds.
Best Regards from Phila area.

fact that SACD player is so good as CD is amazing to me, especially that I hear SONY's SACD in CD mode and it was not good, I have read that even Accuphase 75V is amazing CD player his SACD successor 77V is as CD player not that good at all. So I have figured that SACD player are not good as CD players. So it surprises me even more that this modified SACD Philips (with Meitner DAC) is so good in CD mode!
I assuming that as SACD is good too.

Even if Tireguy says it, it's still true. The Meitner is a fabulous piece. It creates a 3-D image the likes of which I have never heard before and it's silky smooth.

I was able to hear member Larry's (gasman above) new Meitner Transport/Dac in his fabulous home reference system and it was silky smooth/relaxed yet extremely revealing of the finest details.....best I have ever heard his system sound.

The ticket to admission is high, but if you want the very best you should hear this set-up before making another choice.
