Question on Emm labs Dac6 vs Dac6e

I am considering to purchase a pre-owned Meitner separate, very much confused for the models, especially some has Dac6, some Dac6e, I know the latest are DAC 6e SE, can anyone tell me what is difference between Dac6 and 6e, is it significant as 6e to 6eSE?

between the dac6 and dac6e, i believe the original version used aes/ebu connections for all channels while the 6e included rca connections with the aes/ebu. i think the original version also had a small fan in it while the 6e did not. i'm not sure what changes were made from the 6e to 6e SE.

as a side tangent, how does the dac6e compare to the dcc2 in regard to the dac only. i have a tube preamp so i will not utilitze the preamp functions of the dcc2.

i emailed emm and was told that the dac6e only upsamples to dsd from a non-emm transport while the dcc2 upsamples to double dsd from a non-emm transport.

anybody?
