I'm using Sony SCD555ES and wanna upgrade to a better one. For the range of USD10000, any good SACD player can do well at red book, which close to the grade of Wadia 861, Mark 390s, or Metronome T1-i Signature?
yeah, I'd have to say the Switchman et. al. don't make a pretense of looking good the way most equipment does. I prefer the echt look of the Meitner gear.
The DCC 2 is both units; if you want separates, and to pay more, you get the DAC 6 and Switchman. Though obviously you can use any preamp with the DAC 6.
Let's face it: the EMM Labs is said by many to offer the bery best CD performance available, better than the Linn CD12 at a lower price. What more can you ask for? Viel Spass!
I ordered mine several months ago and should receive it in a few weeks. I can't say for sure, but it seems like they're ramping up production now. In any case, I feel like it's the player I'll be using for a long time since it's upgradable in future. So I haven't been too frustrated by the wait.
I don't think it looks too "pro" but I believe they have changed faceplates to make it look more "home" audio. I know many like look of highend manufacturers--almost all of it, to me, looks ugly, no matter how much brushed steel, etc. there is.
