I own the EMM Labs DAC 2x and never knew there is a 2x SE. I love the sound of this DAC and the recent firmware update improved everything more than I thought it could. For the money, the PS Audio DSD unit is worth listening to and considering. Great value and sound; a friend has one and the recent firm ware upgrade on it has improved its DSD performance considerably. And like the claims of the Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC Reference, plays back redbook CDs like they are high resolution. Hope this helps.
