EMM labs upgrades for CDSD and DCC2

I have to agree with Fbhifi. After having my DCC-2 upgraded to Sig. it was better top to bottom. SACD was even better than before but what really stood out was the improvement in PCM. They all sound at least a little better but a redbook that is recorded well to begin with is very, very close to SACD.

Post script. I should clarify something. When I said above that a well recorded redbook is close to SACD, I meant a well recorded SACD. I have some SACD's that in my opinion sound like crap.

Frankg: I am really surprised as well at how good redbook is. I am putting in some CD's I really have not enjoyed listening to because of poor sonics and although it is not perfect, it is totally different than I have heard them in the past. I think Fbhifi experienced the same thing with some Led Zeppelin mini discs.

I just got my DAC6e back afte getting the "SE" upgrade. It is a tremendous improvement, and I purchased original unit in March. It was well-worth it in every respect. Jonathan is a true gentleman, and he was absolutely correct in his despcription of the upgrade. As I write this I am still playing my first cd since getting it back, and it has no break in whatsoever. If anything I think it is a greater leap than what I experienced going from the DAC6 to the DAC6e. It is more open, more relaxed yet more detailed. I am in a state of delighted shock.

Wait till it breaks in for even more listening bliss
