Wow! I read (speed read, that is) all the problems you had: it put me off EC. I also have been put off Aero because of all the chip problems. If a company makes several errors of this magnitude, I want nothing to do with them (I'll never buy Ford, Bridgestone either). I got meself a nice little Audio Note CD 3.1x: so far, so good. Not analog, of course, but is intensely enjoyable...already.
Electrocompaniet EMC-1: let's talk?
"The history of the player is:
24/96 (original)
24/192 (upgraded DAC)
24/192 UP (upgraded DAC plus various internal component upgrades).
The "SE" and "MKII" designations refer to the 24/192 UP and 24/192 players. Neither of these are actually official names given by Electrocompaniet. Someone (dealer or customer) referred to the EMC-1 players as "SE" and "MKII" some months back and the names just kinda' stuck."
The above from the horse's mouth, an authorized dealer. After having gone through hell selling my Dodson 217 MK II D, competing w/guys mistakenly advertising their units w/out mentioning they were upgraded and not the latest model, I'm a bit sensitive to mis-categorizations, no matter how innocent. (Anyone playing these games should be pilloried in front of an array of Bose speakers).
