EMM original CDSD with DCC2-SE?

I had the same experience as Trcnetmsncom. I sent my cdsd with usb port in for repair and was told it was updated to the very latest and he even replaced the transport assembly. No charge. He didn't put the se nameplate on it but I was assured that it was the same as the new SE's that they were shipping. I also noticed an improvement in sound.

Thanks again. Anyone care to say how the sound improved? Was it a major difference?

I love my new CDSA but need to sell because of a move

If you are interested in upgrading the CDSD, I recommend asking EMM whether it still can be done. They stopped taking requests for DAC6 and DCC2 upgrades in April, according to their web site.

Hi Rich,

The improvement was resolution which brought to the surface details that were just not there before. This new information came in different ways, timbre of texture be it instrument or voice was more realistic, the sound space was bigger with more air around images.

Slightly better dynamic shading and also the extension both highs and lows were a little better. These improvements while very apparent IMO in my system was not as profound to me as when I had my DAC6 upgraded to the DAC6/SE. Hope this helps.

Good luck,
Tom
