Emm Lab CDSA-Se vs Resolution Opus 21.

A friend heard them both at a local dealer and didn't think they were far apart sound-wise.

Take a look at my thread entitled, Reference Dacs: An overall perspective for lots of information on the sonics of reference DACS or CDP's, and you will find no mention of the Opus piece, because in my opinion and many others, it does not compete with the likes of Meitner, Accoustic Arts, Dcs, Zanden, and many other pieces.

I have never heard the CDSA though (although some ppl rate it higher than EMM Labs non-signature separates).
