Can you play Doves Some Cities on emmLabs CDSD ?


I just purchased the new Doves -- Some Cities CD which is a copy protected (Copy Control) and I am having trouble playing it on my emmLabs CDSD due to repeat crackling sounds and poor sound. Have others noted this problem with this disc or with other Copy Control CD's recently on emmLabs gear ? Any solution ? I know certain discs in the past have had to be recalled due to problems with copy protection !!!

Don't have that particular CD(Doves), but I have not had anyissues with the other copy controlled CD's playing on the CDSD transport.
Well, I took the CD back and got my money back. Then, I bought a UK version on amazon.co.uk which doesn't have the damn CopyControl protection and it works fine !!

Meanwhile, what can audiophile consumers do to stop EMI from using Copy Control (other than boycotting EMI) ???
when will I f' learn.

I bought the Canadian version of the new Gorillaz EMI recording called Demon Days which has that dreaded Copy Control. Wouldn't you know, again I can't play it on the emmLabs, without those dreaded clicks and pops.

I don't understand, as I have a number of Copy Control discs that don't have this problem (mainly from UK). I guess the same thing will happen with Coldplay X&Y next month when it comes out.
Here in a previous post of mine, I go into detail about a new revolutionary form of copy protection.

Albert,

You're on to something ... I was thinking the same thing ...

However, if I didn't spend all the money on the emmlabs stuff, plus the associated equipment, and the 3rd floor that houses the equipment, I may be able to buy a decent machine to playback those black, grooved discs. Besides, I was really hoping I could avoid going back to vinyl (despite many of its superior qualities !)

Other than going analog or just boycotting EMI artists, is there any other rationale way the audiophile world can get EMI to drop this dreadful Copy Control ?
