| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Apologies for the typo Mike, yes I meant your SOTA--state of the art) analog rig.As mentioned, I have no argument with the fact that you and your guests may find the SOTA to be superior to the EMM, and in fact I'd be interested in knowing more det... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Mike, I have no problem believing that your SODA may often appear to exceed the performance of the EMM. Unfortunately your generalization from this statement that analog is inherently superior to digital is invalid.Similarly, if you had said that ... | |
| Conrad Johnson ACT2 against Audio Research Ref 3 Jtimothya, what Wittgenstein also said in the first page of the Tractatus Logico Philosophicus is:"what can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence. Thus the aim of the book is to draw a limit... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Thank you JFZ. No I am only a concerned reader who gets amused by 'screechy' posts. Please do not leave these discussions. As you noticed, some of us are naturally emotional. You should read some of the 'nastygrams' that fly out of my fingers in t... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Stan, that was 'ad hominem'. thus unwarranted. Please avoid. | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Hey Stan, why not take up Oneobgin's offer? It's your opportunity to prove you are not suffering from a little case of 'faith-based audiophilia!' | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Instead of UX-1, Why not try the X-01 instead, which is optimized for audio with twice the DAC chips? You would not have experienced the residual brightness. I Agree about Shunyata Anaconda being an ideal match for UX-1/X-01. new Shunyata Python H... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Chrisla, was the UX-1 broken in? If it sounded distinctly metallic, it was likely not yet broken in. Furthermore, UX-1 is a musically compromised unit. It's brother, the X-01, should sound a lot better for music reproduction, with twice the DAC ch... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? "Sure Stan, if that makes you happy" G. | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Stan, with the exception of 5, which is only a Seasonal Cheer, all answers are somewhat fitting and pretty well equivalent. Although I admit of being rather fond of 2. How about trying Faith-based Audiophilia on for size? | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Stan, there are several ways to answer:1. Sure thing, if it makes you happy.2. Sounds like faith-based audiophilia to me.3. "Credo, ergo esst!"4. Watch your induction step Stan, I think you are missing a couple pieces!5. And how was Thanksgiving t... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? KarmaPolice, I was not attempting to disparage EMM, on the contrary. . . it is my experience that high quality front ends benefit from high quality PCs. My recent experience with Teac X-01 seems to corroborate this hypothesis, whereas I achieved b... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Oh wow! That was so awesomely profound Stan. . . are you having a good turkey dinner today? (chuckles!) | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Dgad, I do not run vinyl at all, thus my comment was inherently tainted. You may try though the new Helix chords both on your vinyl and your digital rigs. They are considerably better than the old series and they are at least worth a listen and a ... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? DJad, try a pair of Shunyata Helix Anaconda Alphas on your EMM boxes. Then let us know if they are still playing second fiddle to your vinyl rig. |
