EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS

Having heard both of them the same day at the show in Montreal last month, the Emm labs was in a different league then the dCS. Both had great associated equipment, the DAC6 just got the listener so much closer to the music. I have heard dCS before more then a few times and it is good but its not worth the money not by a long shot, it never really blows me over as being the best out there. The week after I heard the DAC6 I ordered my Emm labs DAC and transport! I went with the 2 channel DCC2, for most people the DAC6 is a lot of extra's that they will never use. I am curious what others fealt who heard both.

Where can I find information on the DCC2? EMM Labs web site appears to be strictly for the professional products.

Tireguy - I thought the 2 channel Meitner DAC was going to be part in parcel with a Switchman preamp in the same chassis at a similar cost to the DAC6?

Drubin - check out www.positive-feedback.com for David Robinson's take on the Meitner set-up. If memory serves me right it replaced a very hotrodded SCD-1 (possibly the most modified SCD-1 on the planet).

Rgd- You are correct, the DCC2 is a slightly different creature then the DAC6. The DAC6 is nothing more then a 6 channel DAC, as where the DCC2 is a 2 channel DAC, with a built in 2 channel switchman(analog volume control) and 2 sets of analog inputs(RCA and XLR on both) which can be controled via the onboard switchman. The price on the DAC6 and DCC2 are the same $9995 retail.

Drubin- There is really very little information available online aside from the word around the campfire. I am looking forward to seeing what the DCC2 will look like, maybe I'll see a picture soon or I will see the real thing soon enough at which point I will post pictures on my virtual system and add any new information I find.

Tireguy --

Did you order a transport with the DCC2?

Can you plug the DAC 6 or DCC2 straight into your
amps, or do you still need a pre-amp?

If the price of the DAC6 and DCC2 are the same,
but the DAC 6 has a lot of extras -- why purchase
the DCC2? Why not the DAC6?

I'm very curious about the DAC6 and DCC2 -- appreciate any and all info you can give.

Thanks.
