Electrocompaniet EMC-1 vs 1up

Hi guys,

I'm looking into the Electrocompaniet CD player. There's been one major upgrade since its introduction, which is the change from a 24/96 DAC to a 24/192. Has anyone heard both of the models? The newer one is very well-regarded, but I never hear much about the older one. Is the new DAC worth the approx. $700 dollar premium you'll pay on audiogon?

Thanks!
