EMC1 mk2 vs Cary 306/200...
Well folks, I liked the Cary better. Heh heh this is a little late coming, but I think the Cary 306/200 sounds more natural than the EMC mk2. The EMC sounded a bit more electronic with slightly less detail. These differences though was not glaring... 
Recommendation from dCS gear owners
I have said several times in threads that controlling volume with a digital preamp is not the way to go. However, I would have thought DCS might be able to do it as well as a good preamp. Jfrech, has changed my mind. If DCS does not do it well at ...

Any opinions on NAD quality?
All I have to say......If you want build quality and reliability and price for performance: see BRYSTONor in the NAD price range... see ROTELBryston and Rotel will blow NAD away qualitywise.Bryston used is a good deal. They have 20 year warranties...
