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

Elberoth2...well I guess we just disagree on what we respecitvely heard. (...) EMM to me has far more "openess" and sense of air around the instruments...and that is what I like about it.

Henry, that is EXACTLY what I have said before:

To my ears it is the EMM that was a resolution and openess champ. (...) The EMM was almost "too open" for it's own good, his midrange lacked body and texture compared to latest dCS offerings.

:-)

I don't want to embarrass the good doctor. People that spend exhorbitant amounts of money on bits and bytes have egos that won't allow them to really believe what they hear. Money can buy a nice car; it doesn’t mean you’re a good driver. Money can buy a nice house; it doesn’t mean you’re a good neighbor. Money can buy stylish eyeglasses; it doesn’t mean you have good eyes. Now here’s the point: Money can buy great audio components; it doesn’t mean you have a good ear. I hope that helps.
Secondly it would be fruitless to hear that system unless there was an analog source in it to definitively crush the EMM. And even then, egos get in the way.

Stan, that was 'ad hominem'. thus unwarranted. Please avoid.

Measurements and numbers mean nothing. Have you ever heard a loudspeaker with a perfectly flat (on paper) frequency response? Sounds like sh** right?

Secondly if measurements are your criterion for superiority then solid state components would sound better than vacuum tubes right?

You should read Philip Richard Newell's "Studio Monitoring Design: a personal view" in which he states":

"The combination of(human) brain and ear have an awesome ability to resolve fine detail, orders of magnitude beyond our best measuring equipment"

Perhaps this will help you better understand that your measurements are basically meaningless. The ears are the only true measuring devices.

Guidocorona,
This appears to be an issue between posters other than yourself. I suggest you stay out of it. You are not a moderator and as such have no business asking somebody else to "avoid" anything. Thank you.
