dcc2 owners: has anyone regretted the purchase?


I am close to deciding to getting a Emmlabs dcc2 and was wondering whether anyone has regretted buying the dcc2?

If so, please explain.

If not, could you tell me what combination the dcc2 replaced?

I have a BATVK51SE preamp I would be replacing.

Thanks for the assistance

I formerly used an Accuphase DP75V cdp, which now serves as a transport into my DCC2 (using the preamp output of the DCC2). The DCC2 makes every note sound more relaxing and "true". It is one of those Goldilocks audio products that is just right in every listening aspect I could think of. In particular, piano notes can be assaultive in digital, with too much attack that makes you wince or an electric sound (jitter maybe?). The DCC2 finally gets them right--not subdued or veiled, but no strange artifacts. I can now play piano music without fear, even with my revealing Kharma-Focal metal tweeters & solid state amp. Yep, I would never return to any previous CDP I've had (Accuphase, Meridian, Sony).
