About the EMM Labs DAC

It seems that the EMM Labs DAC only can achieve optimal performance in conjunction with the proprietary Philips or Meitner transport. Does anyone know what might be the reason for this synergy? To me the Philips transport is just another mass production unit with quite an ordinary built quality. But where lies the secret? Is it due to another clock, D/A-converter chip or digital filter? If the Meitner modification is truly an improvement, why can it not be applied to other transports?

Any idea which DAC chips are used by Meitner?

They are proprietary. That is what makes them unique.

hello any DAC 6 owners planning on selling their DAC 6 when their DCC 2 arrives? If so I am looking for the DAC 6 and the modified Philips 1000 transport combination for purchase

What? The Wadia is not good enough? Just kidding. Although I am a two channel person I like the pre to be seperate from the DAC that is one reason I chose the DAC6. I am sure the DCC2 will be very very nice though. It looks nicer. :^)

Haven't heard the Steve Huntly modified wadia or the EMM combination wondering has anyone compared the great northern sound modified wadia 27ix and 270 or 270 se transport directly to the EMM Labs combination?
