Does anyone have any experience with Emotiva ?

i've only heard emotiva's power amps, which are extremely good for their price--i can't speak to the emotiva cdp. however, from my dealings, emotiva registers as a fine, smart company with excellent customer service--i believe they offer a 30 day home trial, so there's no risk if you want to check out their cdp.
all that said, i'm a big fan of the denon player for 2ch audio (i still use the 2910 in my main system) and, esp. considering the low resale on non-br players, i query whether you'd be gaining much by changing. of course, change for the sake of change is an important tenet of audio-dom, so enjoy.

That brand is not bad, I have been impressed with the specs and photos of the ERC-1. I can compare it to the Oppo 83.

I've had a good amount of experience with Emotiva as I have owned a number of their products and currently have the ERC-1. It replaced my Cambridge 640C and while the ERC is better it wasnt night and day but very subtle. But the 640C retail was I think double the price of the ERC though. But one thing that the ERC has that sets it apart is its ability to play virtually any CD regardless of quality with no skips. I have a copy of Nirvana's Nevermind that looks like Freddy Kruger got a hold of it and the ERC never falters when playing it. Emotiva is a great company with great customer service and you should definitely give them a try.

Thanks everyone for you response. I may end up buying one and giving it a test drive. I always have 30 days to return it if it doesn't meet expectations.
