About the EMM Labs DAC

It seems that the EMM Labs DAC only can achieve optimal performance in conjunction with the proprietary Philips or Meitner transport. Does anyone know what might be the reason for this synergy? To me the Philips transport is just another mass production unit with quite an ordinary built quality. But where lies the secret? Is it due to another clock, D/A-converter chip or digital filter? If the Meitner modification is truly an improvement, why can it not be applied to other transports?

Michael- Those stands look real nice!! Let me know how they sound when you get them into your system.

Justin- Now this is just what I am told and I don't believe it any more then you do, but..... The DCC2 Dac's should be shipping by the end of the month. The transport(I've got a better picture I will post later- so you guys can see a close up of it) is still being finished, I guess they have got at least one working at THE show which is news to even me, I would not expect to see the Emm labs transport before late spring. It retails at $5000. I will tell you this much the DCC2 with the Emm labs transport on top is beautiful!

BTW those Gilmore speakers just keep getting uglier and uglier every time I see them!
