Any experience with the new EMM CDSA SE ?

I had upgraded from the previous orginal to SE version of CDSC and DCC2 and the difference was signficant especially for redbook CDs. Looking at the website, it seems the new one box player of CDSA SE is merely that...a one box version....appears to basically same design & components. SE is basically SE. Now that I use another preamp, in hindsight probably should have gone for the one box player but at the time I didn't even know was coming out! In any case sound wise, I doubt there is a diffence as a front end: the DCC SE merely allows one to use its pre-amp functionality, which is no slouch either. Jtinn, I am correct in my understanding?

Dgad...surely there are none. Only diff is with DCC2 u get preamp functionality and with DAC 6 more multi channel inputs

Obviously if you don't need the pre-amp functionality and the greater number of inputs, the single box player is the way to go. I got my DCC2 and used it for the pre amp as well (pretty good by the way!) until I purchased the Darts. If I had to do it all over again, I would go for the single box player (which was not around at the time), save the money and invest elsewhere. The sonic differences are likely to be minimal if they exist at all...and both are extremely good!
