AFAIK, UP refers to the 24/192 upsampling DAC. The other upgrade that Jerry refers to involves changes out some parts on the power supply and is usually called the SE. So when my EMC-1 came back from the US distributor with the new DAC and the power supply upgrade, the s/n tag was marked EMC-1UP SE.
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!
