711Smilin, I fail to understand how a Denon 3910 could be playing in the super high-end market and be significantly better than Emmlabs , even "modified". Denon themselves have a high-end player (the DSD-SA1 retails for about $10,000) that is certaily very good but not up to the latest Emmlabs SE gear. I don't think this player is marketed in the USA yet. Couldn't APL modify the Emmlabs CDSA SE player...would love the hear how much further they could push that!

All that's required is some more homework, Henry. You'll discover that an APL Denon 3910 has very little to do with a stock Denon after being re-engineered with completely new APL electronics. Think NASCAR. The high performance Chevys, Fords and Toyotas on the track have nothing whatsoever in common with cars off the assembly line. So too the APL Denon 3910, and the APL NWO 2.0 based on an Esoteric player.

An opportunity to hear one will take care of the rest.

APL HiFi products are made in California, but they are not marketed on a large scale. Primarily word of mouth.
I heard the APL on two systems, one being mine. Synergy is the thing. For a particular SET system, it breathed dynamics and presence into the system. In my own highly resolving system, it sounded like a basket of bones. As for the Toshiba, don't get me started.
