All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla..

Spraglow - many thanks for the information.

Nil, if you're ever in the Palm Springs area you are welcome to hear mine as well. I have the DCC 2, latest CDSD, latest APL 3910 and an APL/EMM/Denon transport (for the DCC 2) as well.

Thanks for the offer Frankg.

It is close to Analogue but IMHO Analogue is better. It really becomes a matter of flavors. I did some recent comparisons of the same recordings on CD on the EMM set compared to Analogue w. my friends. We all prefered analogue. That being said, the EMM was excellent and without analogue you can be very happy. Now on SACD it is a different story and the EMM is much closer to Analogue although not there yet. In the end it is a matter of the different flavors. If you remove the turntable from your house & don't listen to analogue for a while you will end up being happy. Just don't go to any friends houses w. analogue & a great system. Also, you need a very good well setup analogue system at the top level to compete w. EMM. The EMM is plug & play, and analogue is a ton of work. Analogue satisfies the hobbiest urge to tinker, while SACD is just listening. I am sure you know the rest. Enjoy!

Oneobgyn, none even come close? Per chance is the APL modified Denon 3910 included in your list of ownership? How about the new APL modified NWO-1?

If so, I'd be very interested to hear your opinion of direct comparisons of either of these APL modded units and the EMMLabs.

I think Frankg has a very good suggestion.
