All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla..

Hi Tim, I have seeing your posts too when I got active again. How you been?

Lately I have gotten in to analogue and about spend big bucks on the analouge front end and wanted to make sure my digital front end does not left behind or may be upgrade the digital front end first. What with 1000s of CD and barely begun LP collection.

Does anyone know where to audition this combo in LA area?
thx, Nil

Thanks Oanhu. Let me send you offline email to arrange time that is convinient with you.
Thanks Oneobgyn for the offer, but I have to respectfully decline since I do not approve of your Wilson's (sarcasm!). Oanhu seems to be in my backyard so I will check w/ him first. Thanks a lot though. Or may be I will take a raincheck and if in near future I am in the bayarea, I will give you a call...

Seriously though can emmlabs or ANY high end over/up sampled capable digital front end realistically read inbetween lines? All they can do is the best possible approximation that resembles the 24/96 master tape signal. So may be this is one of the best 'math simulation model' around.

Thanks for the offer Frankg.

Hi Alex, If you sent me an invitation/s I must have not gotten or not read (very rare). I have just bought Metronome Kalista and C2a signature combo that I am extremely happy with. With right output tubes , the digital combo is exceptional sounding. If only Metronome can figure out how to inject very very small amount of groove noise, it would be 99.99% analog from current 99.00% -:) I agree with need of well designed power conditioner. Drop me a note when you have another listening session/s in LA area.

Thanks Alex.

Since I never got in to SACD or DVD audio, CD based digital was the only need I had.

I must have missed the messages. Next time around I will be sure to read the messages.
