Any Good SACD Player Plays CD Well

The Switchman is part of the DCC2.

The DCC 2 is both units; if you want separates, and to pay more, you get the DAC 6 and Switchman. Though obviously you can use any preamp with the DAC 6.

Thanks for all of your responses. It is impressive to me indeed as this is my first post here... :P

If I go for DCC2, does it mean that I have to by-pass my pre-amp part (of the Gryphon 2200). Any ordinary anlogue CD output from DCC2? If not, I will choose DAC6 (at the same price) as it can plug to my Gryphon directly. Also, I have the potential for 6 channels expansion and upgrade to switchman later.

Why not just pick up a good redbook CDP and wait for the dust to settle on this DSD gear.

IMO, there aren't enough true DSD SACDs to justify the cost
of the EMM equipment at this time.

If more major recording studios start using the EMM Labs gear, other manufacturers will be pushed into licensing the EMM Labs chip set and we'll see lower cost gear.

If you want more from your current system, upgrade your speakers or your amp.

Kana813: The EMM Labs does redbook better than anything I and many others have ever heard. SACD is just a bonus!

The EMM Labs equipment is used by Telarc, Sony, Philips, Abbey Road, EMI, DMP, Universal, Pentaton, Chesky, Opus 3, Acoustic Sound, Virgin, Waterlilly, Buzz, Right Track, Denon, Linn, Mobile Fidelity, Audio Quest... need I go on.
