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 !!!

My emmlabs plays copy controlled cds so am not sure its the emmlabs model or more particularly your machine. I will say the cdsd is a bit finicky and there are a few cds of mine it will not play either but neither have been copy controlled. I have not tried a dual disc yet.

Michael,

To be honest, it's not all Copy Controlled discs, but two recent releases (canadian made) couldn't play without the pops, clicks, and crackling. On the other hand, I have some old CC discs that will play without a problem. EMI said the technology may have changed recently, and will likely change again when it becomes the norm in the US.
