About the EMM Labs DAC


It seems that the EMM Labs DAC only can achieve optimal performance in conjunction with the proprietary Philips or Meitner transport. Does anyone know what might be the reason for this synergy? To me the Philips transport is just another mass production unit with quite an ordinary built quality. But where lies the secret? Is it due to another clock, D/A-converter chip or digital filter? If the Meitner modification is truly an improvement, why can it not be applied to other transports?

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.
EmmLabs makes a two channel version -- it is called the DCC2 and it *is* less expensive than the DAC6. What this player does for redbook
CD's is nothing short of amazing. I have over 1,000 redbook CD's, so
redbook play-back was my primary concern. Of course, SACD is even
better, but until more SACD software becomes available, the Emm Labs
player will help you enjoy the hell out of redbook. If SACD format dies
a horrible death, I would still be ecstatic with my Emm Labs gear because of its redbook play-back.
There is no such thing like DCC2 on their web page ?
