All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla..


Is this real? I mean they cost big bucks but is the sound that great? what does the combo do to the Redbook CD sound?
How does it compare to equal cost analouge front end?
No intention to badmounth Emmlabs, but is the combo that good??

Oneobgyn, none even come close? Per chance is the APL modified Denon 3910 included in your list of ownership? How about the new APL modified NWO-1?

If so, I'd be very interested to hear your opinion of direct comparisons of either of these APL modded units and the EMMLabs.

I think Frankg has a very good suggestion.

Evita, does that list of ownership include the APL modified Denon 3910 or even the new APL modified NWO-1? If so, I'd be very interested to hear more about your comparisons between either of those APL modified units and the EMMLabs.

I like Frankg's suggestion best. Not to mention Palm Springs is almost right around the corner from La Marada. Well...., it's a big corner.

Oneobgyn, you seemed to speak very clear when you said,

"I have owned EVERY high end digital available in the market today and IMO there is simply none that even come close to the Meitner. It is THAT good...so good in fact that I see no reason to get back into vinyl"

If you were stressing your point because of your obviously strong emotions for the EMMLasbs by using a hyperbola, I think it got lost in the translation and instead came across (to me) as though you were stating a fact.

I don't think living close to Alex Paychev (APL HiFi) and his generous offering to let you hear the new (and fantastic) APL modded NWO-1 in your own system qualifies as proof-of-ownership.

That being the case, it would probably make sense that you start your comparisons with the APL modified Denon 3910 rather than the NWO-1. You just might be surprised.
