All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla..


Is this real? I mean they cost big bucks but is the sound that great? what does the combo do to the Redbook CD sound?
How does it compare to equal cost analouge front end?
No intention to badmounth Emmlabs, but is the combo that good??

Ggil,
I was more interested to compare the EMM CDSD vs.APL modded Denon with the additional meitner optical outputs, both going through a DCC2. So the real test being between the two transports.
Would anybody else share some light on this too.
Thanks,
Neville
Essentialaudio--thanks! I will see if this is compatible with my Billy Bags rack. -Rich-
HI guys, thanks for the thread it is very timely for me as well. I just purchased (4 weeks ago) the new Accustic Art Mk4 and it is AWESOME. However I still have the urge to try some other high end DAC's. I have been looking at the DCC2 signature model. Does anyone have imput on the analog line stage (preamp) on the EMM labs DCC2? I am assuming it sounds good without a preamp but even better with one?????????????
Thanks, Guy

I'm not sure I would use the word "timely". The post before yours was made 14 months ago.

Cdw57, no, there are none NWO-1 out there simply because they were all upgraded to NWO-2.5 and NWO-2.5T (the latest). We have 20 units out and 12 in shop.
