What is the best cd playback system?


Do anyone have an opinion of what the best cd/sacd playback system would be?
1. The Ed Meitner/Emm labs system?
2. The full Dcs system, Elgar and Verdi la scala?
3. The Dcs P-8 one box system?
My system is Usher dancer series 8871 II speakers, Pass labs x-600 amps. I would really be glad if someone could help me with this issue.

IMO the EMM combo is certainly the best most accurate digital front end that I've heard. My DAC-6 is in for the Signature upgrade. I will report back in a new thread with the differences that I hear.

All the best,

To my ears the best CD playback has been from the Meitner EMM labs as well. Sweet, clear, smooth....... Looks pretty bare and industrial, but who cares when it sounds like that!
I think he's referring to the APL Hi-fi NWO-2, no holds barred take on the Esoteric top machine? Right Steve?
