Reimyo CDP vs EMM Labs/Meitner

I am also very curious. On CD the Reimyo is much better than the EMM. This is not in a head to head but the Reimyo sounded phenomenal on CD when I heard it briefly. Every time I hear the EMM on CD & in my system there is a lack of musicality & palpability compared to my Audio Aero. The Reimyo had the palpability & detail that is missing in my system.

Since I listened to the Reimyo briefly take what I say w. a grain of salt.

I would love to see where this thread goes.

I was at a agon member's house tuesday listening to tunes. He said that meitner was about to get kicked off
the 'product of the moment' chart by reimyo. No reflection on the sound of either product. That is just the way it goes.

I have listened to the EMM in numerous systems including one session for several hours. I own the Reimyo and was really pleased to come home and play it after the several hours spent with the EMM. I haven't compared them back to back but my feeling is the Reimyo is much more musical and natural sounding without sacrificing any detail. It all comes down to taste so understand that this is what I hear and want in my system. At the time I bought the Reimyo, I considered both and have absolutely no regrets in choosing the Reimyo. It is an amazing player.

I also had the Meitner and sold it to get the Reimyo. I prefer the Reimyo, but to me the biggest difference was in build quality. The Reimyo, besides being a one box solution, has absolute incredible build quality.
