Any Good SACD Player Plays CD Well

Jtinn,

EMM Labs should be good but there is no one piece player. Learn the EMM products from other post here, DCC2 can suit me well. But the DAC itself can emply my pocket in one go! The MSRP is USD10000. And I need some extra $$$ for the Meitner transport. Is there any outlet selling the whole set under my budget?

Thanks lady and gent.

Actually, my Sony 555 is modified with LClock and Zapfilter from LCAudio. A similar tweak as in Vacuum State, which feeding the DSC output directly to the Zapfilter and bybassing the opamp module. After-mod 555 is comparable with the Sony SCD-1.
I'm now itchy and finding a reason for upgrade. The EMM labs is so tempting that I may wait a longer to save up more $$$.

Yes, the combo can include the switchman. I am not sure whether it is a must for DAC6 as most of the people do have a pre-amp already, or in my case, an integrated one. Actually, I am thinking in other way - could I get rid of the switchman from DCC2 in order to drive down the price a bit? :) Anyway, I still want to know what kind of pre-amp it is.

Regarding classe omega, what I knew is about USD15000. I will think about it if it is within my range. Thanks.

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.

Kana813's misunderstanding is due to my subject of this thread. It's my fault :)

I've just emailed to the distributor in Canada for DAC6 enquiry, it need to wait for 2 months.

Oops! But the transport from Meitner will be available in few months as well as the DAC2. Ummm... $400 for a 963SA is very attractive but the quality can't compare with SACD-1000. Not sure how will the Meitner transport looks like...

Gladstone, how long will it take?

Gladstone, wish you will be crazy for the emm labs :) BTW, let us know your comment once you get the combo.

Jtinn,

Yes, I though so, as 963 is not really in the same league. For me, I intend to wait for the Meitner transport as I was told that it should be better than the SACD1000. That means I can only get the combo end of this year, and this follows my plan in stacking up more $$$.

As you are also a distributor, what is the current lead time to obtain the combo?

Does any one order or get the DCC2? The information from the distributor is that it (DCC2 or DAC2??) will only be available end of this year. I wonder if someone has one now.

Agreed. Meitner's product looks too pro. for a home user :)
