Thanks Teajay and Branimir.
I'm currently using the EMM-modified transport and I'm -not- getting great bottom-end extension or low-frequency energy. The foundation and substructure of my soundstage is missing and I'm not getting all the low-frequency ambient cues, spatial information, and details that I know should be there. [I use four 250 watt monoblocks and I have a pair of REL subs but they just aren't receiving this low frequency info from my front end]. The little CEC TL-51X did a much better job in this area than my current transport. With the right transport and DAC I know I can get what I'm looking for without changing anything else in my system.
It goes without saying that the EMM transport would help quite a bit but I'm thinking that I still might be wanting a more category #2 sound.
I've read three reviews of the Weiss gear that specifically mention this frequency range as a particular strength.
I'm also interested in trying some of the non-upsampling, no-filter DACs to see how they do in this area.
