DCS P8i Vs. EMM CDSD/CC2

I've been auditioning to the one box from DCS, the P8i, for the last few days, and really enjoyed every minute. I liked the realism, the focus, and the wide soundstage in the sound. I'm also considering the EMM set, however didn't have the pleasure listening to. Has anyone compared the DCS to EMM?
Thanks a lot!!!

Everyone seems to be selling the EMM Labs stuff right now. I would get the dCS or the new MBL 1531 player (which is truly outstanding), simply becouse of the EMM clouded future.

Morbius: Sorry about the delayed response. I tried all 4 filters on the DCS. If I recall correctly, I believe Stereophile commented that the filters do not make much difference. I disagree. For what it's worth, I preferred filters 2 and 3. They seemed to add the right amount of body to female vocals. Filter 4 went too far, in my opinion, and made the music too lush.
