Emm Labs DV2

If any of my audio brethren are thinking of upgrading their current dac I would highly recommend the Emm Labs DV2. If your looking for a dac that only presents the music and doesn't add color or some other sonic flavour this may be the last dac you will ever have to purchase. For almost 2 years I used the PS Audio DSD. It's a very good dac however the DV2 is in another league. This quest for achieving the right SQ in one's system can be fun and sometimes maddening! (In a good way) When you do achieve your goal it really is satisfying.

Joe I'm using the NS1 now, I'm able to do dsd, 24/192, its a solid streamer. I want to compare it to the Aurender n10 or w20. I have never listened to Aurender, just curious if the Aurender gear will clearly outshine the NS1.

@jakesnak, I'm in market for high end DAC.  Have you compare DV2 to DCS, MSB, Rockna ... ?    Plan to demo once Covid restrictions improves.

Hi Joe, I listened to MSB, Bricasti, Berkley, and I have a PS Audio Directstream. I became so impressed with this dac I became a dealer. Just submitted all the paperwork. I'm hoping to move a few units to friends who are audiophiles. Only dealing with a limited amount of high end gear. With this covid situation I thought it might be a interesting venture. I'm in NC, where are you located? If your near me I would be more than happy to give you a demo. If not contact a dealer that has a DV2. It's without a doubt one of the best dacs on the market today.
