EMM Lab CDSD transport motor resonating

Nikki

I find it somewhat impossible to fathom that three CDSD units performed poorly especially on the same tracks.

I have owned 3 CDSD's and never once had a problem.

I would have to ask you that if the sound always occurs on the same tracks that you play perhaps the disk needs to be either cleaned or replaced.

Hmm...I have never had a problem with any of my CDSD's and I have owned 3 of them.

I initially owned the original SACD 1000 which even though an albatross never once had a problem.

I then owned the last version of the CDSD with the metal tray and no USB. I wanted the latter in order to be able to do firmware upgrades and sold that unit as well as the SACD 1000 here on Audiogon. I presently own the current version with the USB port and as I have said repeatedly I have never once had any problems with any of these players or my DAC6e (now the Signature Edition) for that matter.

IMO for my ears the Meitner gear remains the best digital available in the market today. It is so good that I still have no desires to get back into vinyl.

As I said, I have never had a problem with any of my units so I canot affirm or deny that the issues are real. If you have had the problem as have others then for all you it is real. Fortunately never for me.

You seem to be preaching to the choir as I never said that I dispute your problem. I was merely stating (and I will say again) that I have never encountered one problem with my units. I have never owned the DCC2 so I cannot comment as well on the clicking heard when you turn up the volume.BTW, as far as sound treated rooms I can say the same about mine as it too is overly treated so that if there is something going on I would hear it without any problem.

Have you ever talked with Jonathan Tinn about your problem?

One last question.....are both of you the original owners of these units? If so I would suggest you have them repaired under warranty.
