Linn Ikemi vs. Electro. EMC1 vs. 508.24


These three players are all priced about the same on the used market. Has anyone had any experience comparing the three players. I am considering upgrading my CD. Current system includes Plinius 8150, B&W 803s. I listen to jazz, classical, some rock. Small listening room. Thanks, Joel

You are on crack...please only post your opinions once...not multiple times. It seems that you have an agenda.

The EMC1 is the best player in this bunch. The reason so many are for sale (5 at this time) is due to the fact that there is a new version coming soon. The new version will have a 192 Dac.

The EMC1 is the best digital I have ever heard with perhaps the exception of the DCS and other MEGABUCK 24-192 KHZ DACs.
If you can get this player for under 2.5K it is a steal. Buy the player than decide if you want to upgrade it for 1-1.5K when the upgrade kit is made available.

The other two players are fine kit but to my ears the EMC1 is an outstanding player and it looks very cool to boot.
