dcc2 owners: has anyone regretted the purchase?

I am also a former BAT owner(though not the VK-51se, but they do have a "house" sound), I enjoyed owning there products and always felt they were musically satisfing. The DCC2 presents the music in a more natural way, it doesn't have the slight coloration that I have experienced with BAT gear. Dan his nailed it with resolution and detail, the DCC2 rivals the best analog rigs I have heard(when mated with a modified phillips or CDSD) in many ways- on welly recorded/mastered/enginered SACD. There is a liquidity that is so natural with the Emm labs gear that I have never experienced with any other digital source.

The only regret I had was the year wait to get it!

I listen to a lot of classical, folk, rock, techno, jazz, blues- I am all over the place. I did dig out some radiohead(which I haven't listened to in some time) and I NEVER remember it sounding so lush and involving. The soundscape like sound that was created was almost surreal, this was very apparant on "Kid A". There was a sense of layering and detail which I don't recall hearing on any rock redbook CD before. I also listened to Ok Computer and Pablo Honey and they were both VERY enjoyable and brought back a lot of memories. I have never heard any of those discs sound the way they did- last night- before.

I find my system really show's its strengths on natural acoustic type music. While it reproduces electronic sounds and drums and such well, it doesn't have the same feeling as it does with "real" music(if that makes sense). Folk, chamber music, orchestral, vocal and acoustic rock seem to really shine through- fortunately for me that's what I listen to 95% of the time and its what I have "voiced" my system to do well. With the emm labs gear your only limited by your associated equipment, anything you want to recreate well you'll be able to.
