EMC1 upgraded versus MKII


Electrocompaniet EMC1 modified with 24/192 upgrade kit, compared to a factory-supplied MKII version of the player, any differences? Yes, yes, I know they should sound identical in theory, but I'd like to hear from someone who has actually done an A/B within the same system.

Hi, I had my EMC 1 upgraded to 24/192 status at SOS and I am very happy with the improvement. One thing I did not expect though was I have to raise my volume on my preamp (SF Line 2SE) from my usual 60 setting to about 72-74 to reach the same volume.I was told that this could happen when you do the upgrade and it depends on what version your original EMC-1 is (Yes, even though they are the original 24/96 version they also have different version as I found out when I did my upgrade). Anyway, like I said before I'm very happy with the upgrade as I thought the original version could not get any better, it did.
