Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there?

Once again I find myself wondering: how do people KNOW something? In this case how aplhifi knows that (his?)digital stacks up to "cost no object vinyl" (by which I'd assume he means the best?), or how stanhifi knows that aplhifi doesn't have a player that would beat stan's vinyl (which is?). I never cease to be amazed at comments without explicit clarification. I respond to these particular examples because they are so diametrically opposed. I wonder if either is willing to offer any "evidence" - or at least details of head to head controlled comparisons. Probably not, I imagine, thus leaving me (and everyone, I guess) with...hmmm...not very useful personal opinions from two people. Hmmm (again)...my opinion is that cassettes are far better than everything in the world : )

Thanks Guidocorona. Are you a member of the board? I consider it a shame that a forum which (I ASSUME, albeit maybe incorrectly) was created for the sharing of ideas and experience is so often a place where people are simply negative and/or nasty to others. Lest anyone think I am singling someone out, by the way: I think it a shame that "Aplhifi" says something like "...let me re-assure you that your vinyl setup will be embarrassd on A-B test". As I said in another post recently: How could he possibly KNOW that unless he actually listens to the two set-ups in a controlled environment?

In any case, maybe I'm "beating my head against a wall" here, so I will consider decreasing or stopping my participation. Thanks again. If you ARE a moderator, I'd love to know what the forum's goals and guidelines are.
