What is the cost of emm lab gear-ie the multichan pre/cdsd/dac?I have the VSEI modded scd-1--see positive feedback .com for review.Engineering wise,what makes the emm lab gear so special?
What percentage is the modded scd-1 compared to the new emm gear eg is the scd1 80/90% as good from your head to head comparison with the newer emm gear?
Is the switchman better than eg Levinson ref 32,atc sca2,meridian,halcro,bat etc and other similar preamp gear? ps-for stereo and multichannel applicatios?
I have the VSEI modded sony scd-1-it has stunning cd and sacd performance.Richard Wright has done a stunning job with the sony.He has kept the sacd and cd signal in dsd and bypassed the da convertor completely.I previously had the Linn karik and the stock sony was not as good as the Linn in cd playback.I am not sure whether upgrading to the Emm gear viz cdsd/dac6/switchman is going to give me dramatically better sound.I have just ordered the atc 150 asl pro-cant wait.
The sony has an amazing rock solid transport.I am not sure how Wright is able to keep the signal in dsd and not convert into analogue.Positive feedback.com has reviewed the sony 9000 player,but not the scd1.I had the fully balanced conversion done.I have not compared the emm head to head-but will comparing these over the next month or so.
