EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS

Would appreciate any comments regarding the comparison of these two highly regarded units.

However, have no exp w/ DAC6 ...have heard dCS w/ Verdi. No contest in favor of the DCC2. The day auditioned, I ordered. Apparently no more Phillips transports available so I ordered the Meitner transport as well. A local recording engineer tells me quite a few recording studios will be ordering as well: as such the order backlog on DCC2 or DAC 6 is likely to be less than transport given the latter will also include thos who want to "upgrade" from the modified Phillips transport...whether it will make huge diff, I have no idea, but in my situation, not much of choice.
