Anyone compared Esoteric to EMM labs products

Hi Bryon,

I have heard both the EMM Labs CDSA SE and several Esoteric models. I even owned a stock DV-50S and a RAM modified DV-60. If forced to choose between these two, I would choose Esoteric.
However, that being said, the Marantz SA-7S1 beats them both, IMHO.

Cheers,
John

I look for innovation design and Emm Labs and Esoteric both provides you with something new instead of just borrowing OEM parts. You have to determine is it the hardware or software that really makes a sonic difference.

Appreciate the responses so far. I already own the EMM labs CDSD transport and DAC8 and have been happy with the sound. I would prefer a one unit system for my home theater set up.
