DCS P8i Vs. EMM CDSD/CC2

I've been auditioning to the one box from DCS, the P8i, for the last few days, and really enjoyed every minute. I liked the realism, the focus, and the wide soundstage in the sound. I'm also considering the EMM set, however didn't have the pleasure listening to. Has anyone compared the DCS to EMM?
Thanks a lot!!!

Bigamp,

What user selectable filter did you listen to on the P8i?

One of the filters rolls off HF and tape hiss quite nicely.

I too auditioned the dCS P8i and the EMM CDSD/DAC6e combo
with Halcro preamp and Halcro amp driving Wilson X-2
Alexandrias.

The two were VERY close. I noted a few more - "This sounds
REAL" moments with the P8i - but that could be because it
was auditioned first. I may have been a bit jaded when I got
to the EMMs.

As others have said, this is a personal decision - you are
going to have to decide for yourself by auditioning them.

It's will be tough to choose between the two - but be
mindful that you will be happy with either of these choices.
