Electrocompaniet CDP

I am demoing a EMC-1UP CDP from a local dealer. I have always liked this cdp from a distance and am growing fond of it for the few days I have had it so far. Some worries, I really love my vinyl and once I get my new Cart. upgrade and walker motor controler I will love my vinyl even more, (i.e. what do I need a cd player upgrade for?), and I don't know much about the company. Any experience with customer service, realiablity, repairs, US distributor etc? I like the unit, it integrates well into my system and looks great but there are many choices out there and this is not a player the graces the american reviewers desk much. Thanks in advance. PS, system is posted.

Your liquid vs. air comment makes me think you might prefer the sound of a non-oversampling(aka NOS, not to be confused with New-Old-Stock tubes) dac. They tend to have less emphasis on leading edges of notes, and more on decay. Translates to less detailed, but often more natural sounding. Many players and dacs are designed this way. Cheers,
