krell 202 or pass xp20

emm labs dac2se vs puccini
i agree. People that claim to hear differences own one brand over the other so they are somewhat prejudice when they listen.

how does it compare with the pucinni? You are still getting dcs quality but at a lower price point. I like the emm dac2 for high res files. Sounds tremendous!!

I have martin logan prodigy's, emm labs transport and dac 2 and i am using a merdian g68 preamp now and a krell Amp. But I want to introduce an analogue preamp thru the theater thru put of the preamp

i agree...the difference in sound is so minimal that the reason it seems new dacs are sold is so the retailer doesnt lose his franchise with the newer sounding dacs
