The current SOTA SACD player

Thanks for the feedback so far. Tom, if I may ask, what exactly is the CDSD upgrade all about, because, if I have understood previous Audiogon posts correctly it semed to be mainly a label change to maintain some kind of model uniformity. Would you please elaborate on some of the sonic improvements that you feel the upgrade has resulted in.

Thanks again

Hi Tom

I for one appreciate your opinion and your efforts in posting them. I would welcome AudioFeil and Essentialaudio input in relation to my initial question as I would others who have enjoyed state of the art playback with any other product.

Thanks

Hi Onebgyn

Now that you have had your upgraded EMM gear for a while, have your initial impressions altered? Is the EMM gear getting better and have you heard any other setup that is comparable

Thanks

Despite the "can of worms" that has been opened by this thread, I really do appreciate the input of all Audiogoner's whose intent was to share with the rest of us their opinion of the current SOTA Sacd player. Like Oneobgyn, Mikelavigne and Trcnetmsncom I am an Ed Meitner admirer and have enjoyed his products thus far.Whilst I do understand Oneobgyn"s and Mikelavigne objection to Alex's over enthusiastic self promotion and his questioning of other opinions especially when they happen to be from Emmlabs owners, I personally am not offended by it.

I do think however that it would be a shame if Alex's contribution to this and other forums were in some way limited as a result of this discussion. Alex clearly has a better understanding of how these marvelous little machines work than do most of us ,and, his input in relation to technical questions or problems are often very helpful .

Having said all this, the positive response by all to the signature upgrade has me definitely leaning in that direction at this stage.

Any Emmlabs signature owners out there who have heard the NWO 2.5 ? your comments would be most welcome.
