Does anyone have any experience with Emotiva ?


Does anyone have any experience with Emotiva - specifically the Emotiva ERC-1 CD Player ? I had never heard of this company prior to reading a review on Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity. I am wondering, given its price, how it may stack up to some mid/high-end players like the Rega, Cambridge Audio, or Cary. I am giving some thought to selling my everything player (Denon 2930) and buying a separate CD player and a universal Blu-ray without breaking the bank. I would be playing this using my Anthem Statement Pre and Power Amp on Avalon Speakers.

i've only heard emotiva's power amps, which are extremely good for their price--i can't speak to the emotiva cdp. however, from my dealings, emotiva registers as a fine, smart company with excellent customer service--i believe they offer a 30 day home trial, so there's no risk if you want to check out their cdp.
all that said, i'm a big fan of the denon player for 2ch audio (i still use the 2910 in my main system) and, esp. considering the low resale on non-br players, i query whether you'd be gaining much by changing. of course, change for the sake of change is an important tenet of audio-dom, so enjoy.
