Electrocompaniet EMC-1 24/192...Where to from here

I am looking to hear from previous owners/users of this CDP only.

I currently have this CDP and am still very happy with it. I was actually considering upgrading/modding it, until Electro recently closed the doors. Though it is a great player, I can't see putting money into a machine that cannot be backed 100% with support & parts, by the original manufacturer.

Looking to keep a one box CDP, what have you previous owners of the EMC-1 moved on to?

Please tell me what you switched to, why you switched and changes/improvements that you noticed in comparrison to the Electro CDP.

Thanks!

Hi Michael, I wish I had some useful info for you, but my switch from the EMC-1UP to my Classe Delta CP-100 was due to purchasing all Classe gear at once rather than simply changing CDP's.

Anyway, the Classe CDP was basically new when I received it, maybe 4-5 hours on it, but here is what I noted between the two players at the time.

The EMC-1UP was more open but the Classe imaged better and seemed to have a better focus on things.

I am sure you will get numerous suggestions but I suspect many would like to know what your budget is for the new CDP?

I would do a search but it does not appear that they have closed their doors. As I understand it they have been reorganized and bought by someone with substantial resources so that you may not need to sell after all. This is always your least expensive option. Hope I am not giving you incorrect information but this is what I had heard talking to one distributor of gear. Good luck

Hi Barrelchief,

I think at this point the differences are subtle. I had a emc-1 and it was an excellent performer. I wouldn't worry about it. I bought a modified exemplar dvd player. The reason was due to simplifying, and also i needed video.
