Comparing Electrocompaniet EMC-1 and Cary 306/200?

These products are similarly priced and I'm going to demo them both. A few comments have suggested they sound somewhat similar, but I would be very interested to hear more opinions. The EMC-1 doesn't have HDCD, but I don't have very many of them anyway. Is the EMC-1 DAC similar to upsampling on the Cary as they both are 24/192? General and specific impressions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ha! My wife voted our emc-1 mkII as the ONLY component she'd tolerate on top of our closed-rack system (Magnum Dynalab tuner too 50s sci-fi looking; Aleph Pre too austere;
Alesis Masterlink WAY too boy-toy-busy; Aleph monos fortunately under floor joists!
Aesthetics WILL differ, eh?
