| Which DAC for Naim rig, Chord, Meitner or Esoteric Having had an EMM DAC2x - Empirical overdrive SE (see the other thread on this forum, Redbook shoot out) best it. Red-book files are better than DSD playback in EMM. Another consideration is the Allnic D5000 DHT dac but is more expensive. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi,I would like to state that the overdrive se playing red book was significantly better than the emm dac2x playing dsd of the same recording.
