Audio Feil,
I would like to say I'm in no way affilated with EMM or Jonathan Tinn other than I own EMM gear which I purchased from another dealer and I had the unit upgraded through Jonathan.
Yes, the difference I immediately heard in sound between the non-SE version and the SE version of the EMM DAC struck me as profound and special. This is only my opinion, nothing more or less but it is honest and sincere. Someone else might hear the same difference and feel differently. That is subjective.
"wow"... How sad it is IMO that the only contribution to this thread from others is to poke fun with sarcasm.
Audiofeil, I had to work last night.

Tom
