All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla..

Evita, does that list of ownership include the APL modified Denon 3910 or even the new APL modified NWO-1?

I did not claim to own every high end digital player. The doc did. So I asked if he would list all of those high end players that he has owned.

Essentialaudio, thanks in advance: could you elaborate on what isolation device or other enhancements were used for the CDSD?

Does anyone even have a NWO-1? From what I have read, you would be nuts to give Alex a $9000 deposit to order one. Good luck. Alex may be a genius but he needs to greatly improve his business acumen or he will continue to scare off potential customers such as myself. OTOH, he probably has all of the customers he needs to fall behind and stay there for a while. It's a shame more people can't enjoy his talents and creativity.

Hi Rgs92, the CDSD was used with an SK Research shelf and two sets of Thorp Audio Group cones, one set above and one set below the shelf. There are other solutions which are probably quite effective, but the fellows who came up with these products took many years to do so and are meticulous. The shelves, which are part Baltic birch plywood along with Kevlar and lead pellets inside, are so tweaked they haven't found a stain or varnish that doesn't change the sound, yet they're straightforward to set up. The cones are the other part of the formula. I can't wait to try the combo under the turntable line I just added.
