| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Serus and Mmakshak, you're so close as I am in Fremont, CA. Would you please pay me a visit with any cables or electronics (cost no object) you might possibly have, so we can end the "When is digital going to get the soul of music?" subject once a... | |

| Marantz SA-1 holding up well agains next gen.? Thank you Tvad! The McIntosh is a current player, but it was one of those "please mod it so it sounds better than my Samsung HD841 $299 player" local SF Bay Area jobs. Although it turned out quite nice sounding, I have not done any more of these, ... | |
| EMM vs Remiyo Exlibris, that was the EMM Labs combo, IMHO. It was fuller, with more ambience, very balanced, extremely musical and lifelike. Regards, Alex | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? MikeL, Thank you for the invitation! I've never heard your vinyl setup, but I am sure it is really great. I am sorry to say, but it would be impossible to visit you before the CES show in January, so please accept my invitation and visit us at T.H... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Stanhifi, the DACs in my "latest toy" see constant 5.4MHz bit rate regardless of the format played. The output of the DACs looks like a perfect analog wave form, even with 44.1KHz/16bit regular CD. I am sure that you will not believe a word from w... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Jfz, this is correct for most of the posts around online forums. Please see your email. Regards, Alex | |
| Shops that can Repair Phillips SACD-1000 I have no more parts and, as we all well know, Philips have refused support. I am really sorry to say this but All dead SACD1000 machines are paper weight at this point. Regards, Alex | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Stanhifi, how can say that if you have not heard the NWO-1? Are you coming to the CES show by any chance? If so, please plan on dropping by my room. Then we will discuss this again. Regards,Alex | |
| EMM Lab DCC2 & CDSD Better connection? Elberoth2, Thank you for the feedback! I knew it will be the case. Someone said you can't externally sync when AES is used. I don't believe that is true because, even if the glass clock is not working, you can use the BNC clocking interface with t... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Stanhifi, ..."Vinyl still kicks the snot out of bits and bytes".....The above is no longer the case, and I am talking about cost no object vinyl. :-) Happy Holidays to you too!Regards, Alex | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs. BelCanto PL-1A vs DV-50S.. Yes, in their stock form, the Ayre is best.Regards, Alex | |
| EMM Lab DCC2 & CDSD Better connection? Hey gyus, I have signed for a Comcast Digital Phone. I have recently purchased a new phone cable that makes enormous difference. Voices are now "in the room". Jtinn, is telling the truth, the way it is, everything else does not differ much from a ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, DAC6, DAC6e and DCC2 have absolutelly identical DAC sections using the top line DSD only DSD1700 DAC by Burr-Brown.Regards, Alex | |
| Audio Note DAC 4.1 vs. EMM Labs on Redbook I've heard 4.1 Balanced and second Teajay's input. Althought it sounds "organic", it is lacking detail on the top and sounds somewhat smeared. Of course, guys with classic tube SE amps, SE tube phonostages and High Efficiency speakers will love th... |
