Electrocompaniet EMC1 Vs ECD1 DAC+Transport


Hi,

I'm considering upgrading my source.At present i'm using a Linn Genki CDP .The transport used by the Genki is supposed to be the same as used in the EMC1(Phillips CDM 12 PRO).

If i buy the ECD1 DAC & use the Linn as transport how close will it be to the EMC1's performance.Will i be missing much.The price difference will also be around $3000.Would the Linn Genki be a good transport to match with the ECD1.

Has anyone compared the EMC1 Vs ECD1+transport.Also do i have to worry about jitter or does the ECD1 have someting to correct jitter problems.

I shall very much like to know your suggestions.

Thanks,
Dylon.

Actually the damping factor in a stand alone player is also an important factor in preventing vibration control. The transport I am sure is lighter than the EMC1 itself (55 lbs). I own an EMC1 UP and just added to the player Cromolin vibration control, which is amazingly improving the sound with more detail and dynamic. However, some dealers also told me the EMC1's DAC has the same features as the external DAC. I am about to add some ERS (which cancels out the EFI and/or RFI affect to the CDP) and will see how does this improve the sound. Good luck.
