AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs

Mike, Thanks for the reply, everything is clear with this answer, I could not get the chance to directly compare the emm XDS1 and Playback Designs.
I already have the Emm DCC2 SE and SE CDSD I already sold.

Thank you for trying to convince me with the values of the device you recommend me to purchase such as PD. WHY ?.

Thanks.

again; i'm not sure what you are asking but i will try to respond.

WHY?

why do i write about the Playback Designs? it's what we do here. we talk about our experiences. particularly when someone (in this case you) asks a question.

why do i try and convince you? i don't look at it that way; i'm sharing my perspective, not intending to convince or not to convince. i have no 'agenda' other than to enjoy the community of fellow audiophiles.

did that answer your question? if not, please ask your question in more detail.

Thanks Mike,

I would like to know on what musical spectrum such talk is better than her rivals and also what quality of components and manufacturing and completly made in US?.

Thank you again

Rilou,

i answered that with the fourth post in this thread here.

and also what quality of components and manufacturing and completly made in US?

i answered that with the first post in this thread here.

if those posts don't fully answer your question feel free to ask another one. be as specific as you can.

I updated xds1 firmware today to 104-023. The sonic imrovement is quite obvious. However, I was quite upset that the player could not lock into hi-Rez tracks at all. I reinstalled new firmware but still got no luck. Had to revert to old firmware to play hi-Rez tracks. Does any one have a better luck?
