Is EMM DCC2 better than DAC6/switchman combo?

Thanx Rgd for clearing up the vse confusion.

NREDDY. I'm using the DCC 2 with EMM/Philips 1000 as transport. The Philips has had the problem chips replaced and power supply modded by Alex Peychev (APL). Sounds really good.

I believe Nreddy is referring to a Sony SCD-1 modded by Vacuum State Electronics who have technicians on both coasts in the US.

Nreddy what in the world is a VSEI modded sony ?

What digital front end do you use?I am getting ATC 150 asl pro-and thinking about emm lab gear in a multichannel setup.I have a levinson 380s and VSEI modded sony scd1.

Just reread your question. I don't have the CDSD.

I have both. Sold the switchman but have the dac 6e and a dcc 2. They are real close. I haven't spent alot of time comparing but running the dac 6e through the dcc 2 pre amp, seems to me to be a little warmer. HOWEVER, I'm adding another set of copper ic's and that could be the difference.
I was perfectly happy with the Dac 6e/switchman combo and went to the Dcc 2 only because of space and looks (wife factor) in my living room. And I only listen to 2 channel. If I were to have a 2 and multi channel combo system, then without question I would go the Dac 6e and switchman route.
If I have time this weekend to experiment further I'll report the results.
