All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla..


Is this real? I mean they cost big bucks but is the sound that great? what does the combo do to the Redbook CD sound?
How does it compare to equal cost analouge front end?
No intention to badmounth Emmlabs, but is the combo that good??

Spraglow - would you happen to remember the CD player used as the transport for the DCC2 you heard? I ask since I'll soon be the owner of a DCC2, but it will be a while before I can afford to partner it with the CDSD - in the mean time I will use it with a Sony SCD-777ES as my transport.

Many thanks in advance.

All the best,
Neville
Nil,
I had this combo. I am 45' from Los Angeles. If you like to listen please let me know.

Why are the units flooding the market used? Does anybody know? It seems like an unreasonable amount from one manufacturer of only a couple of products.
I have owned every high end digital available in the market today and IMO there is simply none that even come close to the Meitner. It is THAT good...so good in fact that I see no reason to get back into vinyl

Nil...if you want to hop on a plane and take a 45 minute flight to the Bay Area for $59 I would be happy to have you hear mine and I will promise you a session like none other that you have ever heard.

As far as Meitner gear being dumped my take is that this is from peripheral dealers who recently lost their dealership due to some restructuring in the company and with Jonathan Tinn's leadership. Rest assured the company is strong and my suggestion is that this could be a great time to buy up some new or almost new Meitner gear because deals like this won't come around again.
