Do you keep your EMM DAC 6e on?

This is getting interesting since Dgad has Mike Lavigne's Philips that he bought from me.
Darren: If the heat bothers you just turn it off when not in use. Since it doesen't get cold where you live it should sound good with a 30 minute or so warm up.

I thought I bought his first one but only Mike knows that for sure. I didn't know that you got your's from Mike also. You never told me how you liked it after the APL repairs/mods.

Darren: Sorry I missed your call this evening. Got in late. Something seems amiss in your system. I would guess the p/c's on the dac and transport. I never even tried the supplied Kimber that came with the dac. I had good success with silent source and pure notes (older copper version). JTinn would probably recommend the Shunyata Anaconda VX and that might be best for what I think you're looking for. (Big bucks though). First why don't you put the Kimber back on the dac since it came with it and put the elrod on the Philips. Let it run for 2 or 3 hours and then see if that changed anything. If you have other cables try experimenting. Quite a few EMM owners are ex Audio Aero owners and the ones I know of, all like pcm better on the EMM gear. Also check all your connections (glass cables) and toggles to make sure your running it corectly.

I forgot to ask about your ic's. I don't know what you're using. Just seemes that something in your system isn't matching well with the EMM gear.
