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

Stan, with the exception of 5, which is only a Seasonal Cheer, all answers are somewhat fitting and pretty well equivalent. Although I admit of being rather fond of 2. How about trying Faith-based Audiophilia on for size?

Guido, faith based audiophilia is just that, smoke and mirrors for the faint (digital) of heart. Vinyl still kicks the snot out of bits and bytes but the margin is narrowing. Happy holidays.

Stanhifi,

..."Vinyl still kicks the snot out of bits and bytes".....

The above is no longer the case, and I am talking about cost no object vinyl. :-)

Happy Holidays to you too!

Well I think the vinyl vs digital debate is really a dead issue...digital has made great advances and yet some still prefer vinyl and I respect that but so what at the some time. For me personally, I gave up vinyl long ago for convenience of playback, storage of software etc...and now added is the ability to burn, rip etc onto other portable deivices so I can have music for everywhere I go. Enuff said.
