No experience with the YBA gear but I owned the EMC-1 and it is very good, very musical for CD. (I tried a lot of players in it's price range and it was the best..IMO) I upgraded to the 47labs flatfish and progression dac, which if you can swing the price, is the best I have heard... period.
CD players,Electrocompaniet EMC-1 or YBA
I was hoping there might be someone out there that has done a side by side comparison of these 2 CD players. My system is almost finished I have ALeph 2 mono, Aleph P pre, a set of speakers built hand made by a company in Phoenix(Speaker ECT.) Now I need a source. I was think about an YBA CD2 or CD1, but I have been told this Electrocompaniet EMC-1 is awesome. Can anyone give me the run down.
