The current SOTA SACD player


My current playback includes the non signature version of the EMM Labs Dac's.As I am considering upgrading I would like to know what fellow Audiogoners think will better it in terms of smoothness and detail. Single box player suggestions are certainly welcome with the emphasis being on SACD playback as I have quite a few of these discs.
Thanks

Hi Boa , I was just touching upon the challenges we faced and the lessons I took from it. I got the jest of Guidos comment.
Guido is very well respected in the cpommunity and his words have weight for me.
I couldnt agree more Tvad.
Ok , fair enough. I consider all of this constructive criticism and appreciate the efforts to help aleviate any concerns of misdirected intent on the part of Alex Peychev. Audiogon forum ethical guidelines as well as professional business conduct is critical to the operation of the site as well as the reputation of those involved . I think that this should be a priority when posting on this or any forum .
I am diligent in my efforts to make changes and improve the operation of APL Hi Fi . This Mission Statement I am in the process of implementing takes time . I am working very hard to secure these improvements. Personally , I welcome any and all suggestions . This is a small community and we need each other to survive the many frightning technologies that lurk around the corner threatning to put the high end audio community out of business. Please allow me the opportunity to follow through with my objectives and improve all aspects of the business. Brent Rainwater CSM APL Hi FI
Hi Guidocorona. It was really nice seeing you again.
There are numerous challenges to be faced when converging in an unfamiliar room with unfamiliar audio gear . This assortment of equipment had never been tested together. We had a very short period of time to dial it in and find any synergy whatsoever. What sounded good the night before the show started , turned into glare once 200 plus audio systems fired up and taxed the Hotels electrical grid. Our system went through numerous changes throughout a 72 hour period and pretty much came together only on the last day of the show. Every exhibitor faced this situation so our problems were certainly not unique. For me at least , it was a crash course in understanding the importance of balance . APL Hi Fi was a guest of the ESP room and we thank them tremendously for their allowing us to be there .
