Just wanted to post recommending all EMM owners to make sure they keep up with the software updates. I just had my CDSDse updated and IMHO consider the improvement to be significant.
Comparatively, be it rhythm or timbre/texture of tone has articulation that now makes the outdated CDSDse sound smeared and slow. Frequency extremes both high and low have been extended. The overall tonality hasn't changed in its color, it's just more 'there'. Improvements in both sound-stage width and depth were also immediately apparent.
The differences were not subtle, and if you haven't already, I urge you to take advantage of these free upgrades!
If all goes as planned I will be getting into the new EMM DAC2/TSD1 combo and will do my best to give a comparison to the DAC6se/CDSDse once they fully break-in.
The software updates can be downloaded using the USB port from the EMM web-site. EMM is very responsive to emails so I suggest contacting the factory or your dealer as you'll need a password.

I'm not certain but I think the latest CDSDse software for sonics was available sometime around the beginning of 2008.
