Has anyone had the $ 5k upgrade to their cdsa-se ?


Just wondering how close this comes to the top of the line 1box Meitner player .

Hi,

I've spoken to Emm's and they adviced that the X upgrade gives you about 70% sound quality of the XDS-1.
Expensive upgrades can be poor values at some future resale. spend 6K on the Resolution Audio CD player, sell your original and you will be far ahead in money and sound quality.
A stock EMM CDSA is a ways ahead of an Resolution Opus (if that's the model you're referring to) on redbook - and does the Opus even do SACD? Good SACDs on the EMM machine rival vinyl setups of similar value IMO.

$5K for an "upgrade" of a $10K player (now available for under $5K used) is quite a lot of money, however.
