EMM LABS DAC 2X v2

This is just IMHO but after updating my DAC 2X to the new version 2 I feel it is a significant upgrade although expensive. My observations are better vocals both male and female. There also seems to be
be more weight to the music and improved but subtle detail. I posted this as an insight for other DAC 2x
owners who maybe considering this upgrade.

@tomr1 Are you using the USB input? If so, its supposed to be much improved on this new version.  I'm considering a used DAC 2X and would eventually upgrade to the V2 if I decide to go this route.

Yes I am using the USB input with an Audience AU 24 SE dual lead
cable.

If you decide to buy a used DAC 2X make sure it was manufactured
in 2016 or later as their were improvements made that you will need in order to do the Version 2 upgrade.

I have a 2012 DAC2X which was just updated to V.2 (DAC2X V2) at the company without any problems or special charge because of its age. The upgrade is well worth it. It took an excellent DAC and made it significantly better.
