electrocompaniet new upgrade information

There has been only 1 upgrade to this date and that is the upgrade from a standard EMC to a 24/96 EMC, period. ALL units coming from Electrocompaniet are the 24/96 and have been for many months now.

The second upgrade is in the beta testing stage right now. No EMC has or is shipping with upgrade #2. The fact that a dealer has had it done may be true but, Electrocompaniet is not claiming an upgrade date or what the upgrade consists of.

"capacitor, resistor, diode, regulator, etc" is so unclear and unspecific that I don't even understand how the dealer can claim it is more impressive than a 24/96 model but, they are his ears.

Ericbee,

I think you meant to say 24/192, not 24/96. The former is contained in the upgrade kit provided my Electrocompaniet. It includes a new brass plate for the top of the cdp that indicates it has been upgraded to "24 bit upsampler 192khz dac".

How good is this player ?? I am selling off my Wadia 6 and was looking into the EMC or replacing the 6 with another Wadia model such as the 16i or the 850.. Has any of you compaired any of theses to any of the Wadia stuff??

Thanks for your input

In my post I did indeed mean 24/192, not 24/96. That was written in error.

Kenl: Are you saying that the upgrade to which sanctuary os sound is referring is contained in the 24/192 upgrade? I don't think that is correct.

Ericbee,

No. The upgrade that SOS is referring to will be the next upgrade. You are right that the upgrade that I just had installed is the only upgrade currently available. I wasn't even aware of a future upgrade. Had I been, I might have waited to have them both performed at the same time.

Regards.
