New digital front end


I am on the verge of purchasing one of the following. I would like to solicit feedback from anyone who has listened or compared the following:

1. Theta Compli/Gen VIII
2. Emm dcc2/cdsd
3. Ayre 5xe
4. Wadia 861se
I am very close to purchasing the Theta GenVIII but I am intrigued with the EMM gear. I have read about the signature upgrades. Thanks in advance

Forget the "upgrades" ... perhaps, now is the time to cash in with so many used emmlabs CDSD/DCC2 up for sale at a good price ! assuming they are in good working order, you will not regret it.
"Forget the upgrades"?

Thom, obviously that's easier said by one who's never heard one of these two APL modded units, then done by one who's heard both and the EMM dcc2/cdsd. :)

Hi, Thom_y. I heard recently about some upgrades with EMM Labs but nothing specific. Do you know what mods were included in the Signature upgrade?
