Kora Hermes VS Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MK1


I was wondering if any one has done A/B or had heard both of the Kora Hermes 24/132 Dac and the Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MK1 24/96. I know we are talking two different leagues here, with one being tube and the other being solid state as well one being a one box and the other a dac, But I could sure use your help.

Thanks again Gunbei..I am useing the ecc88 Telefunken tubes in the Kora and this dac sounds out right damn good. I have made a comintment on a EMC-1 and I just dont want to let the seller down, but it would mean giving up the Kora. So on that note I am just wondering what I would be giving up in terms of sonic performance by going to the EMC-1
Hello Ligi, yes if you are the person that left a review on Audio Review, then you are the person I emailed from the site. Thank you for letting me know how the EMC-1 (in a stand alone player) compaires to the combo setup. Like I posted in a earler reply to this thread, I do not have the EMC-1 and was looking to replace the dac and go to a one box unit. Now it sounds as if I would be going backwards. Again thanks for your input
