Confusion is starting to set in I probably should not have mentioned anything about the future upgrade which is months away. A safe estimate is 3 months. This has nothing to do with the 24/192 upsampler DAC board. This is a capacitor, resistor, diode, regulator, etc. etc. upgrade. This is only in the prelimenary stages and there have only been a few done to date. 4 I believe! It is very impressive I just got mine yesterday. The price is not set in stone and this is something that they will want the dealers who have technicians to perform. It really is going to depend on what the labor time turns out to be. It might be less but I doubt if it will be anymore.
Electrocompaniet to date has never had their upgrades costs more than a unit coming totally updated I believe that will stay the same. But as those of you with EMC 1's know it was months before the new players came in with the 24/192 upsamplers. First everyone who had an original model was given the opportunity to upgrade their units. So i am assuming it will be with this improvement.
The advantage of the units is none of them get obsolete and you can improve them or not. The original EMC 1 with the 24/96 still sounds great - - just not as good.
