Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there?

Is this the best digital front end ever?

What about

Reiymo CDP 777?
dCS gear?
Audio Aero Prestige?

Any other contenders?

This topic has been covered many times, with no clear consensus. I urge you to audition several in your own system and trust your ears, not what you might read online.
