About the EMM Labs DAC

I was able to hear member Larry's (gasman above) new Meitner Transport/Dac in his fabulous home reference system and it was silky smooth/relaxed yet extremely revealing of the finest details.....best I have ever heard his system sound.

The ticket to admission is high, but if you want the very best you should hear this set-up before making another choice.

EmmLabs makes a two channel version -- it is called the DCC2 and it *is* less expensive than the DAC6. What this player does for redbook
CD's is nothing short of amazing. I have over 1,000 redbook CD's, so
redbook play-back was my primary concern. Of course, SACD is even
better, but until more SACD software becomes available, the Emm Labs
player will help you enjoy the hell out of redbook. If SACD format dies
a horrible death, I would still be ecstatic with my Emm Labs gear because of its redbook play-back.

There is no such thing like DCC2 on their web page ?

I have never heard any emmlabs equipment, but have been reading the raves in this section of audiogon for many months. (perhaps even years). I must admit to being very naive, when I wonder why no other maker can solve all the problems of digital, when Meitner can. Are his techniques so solidly covered by iron-clad patents that no one else can utilize them, or is his genius so totally unique, that this superiority cannot be copied by anyone else? Or, are most other manufacturers designing for sound that quickly impresses people who have not heard much live music. (i.e. the "hi-fi" sound) For me, a reasonably priced digital one-box player offering these qualities would be one of the audio breakthroughs of all time!
