A few months ago an Electrocompaniet dealer told me that the dac sounded better than the player. He said the player used as a transport was feeding the dac and that it sounded better than the stand alone player. I would save the money and use your current player with the ECD-1 dac.
Electrocompaniet EMC1 Vs ECD1 DAC+Transport
Hi,
I'm considering upgrading my source.At present i'm using a Linn Genki CDP .The transport used by the Genki is supposed to be the same as used in the EMC1(Phillips CDM 12 PRO).
If i buy the ECD1 DAC & use the Linn as transport how close will it be to the EMC1's performance.Will i be missing much.The price difference will also be around $3000.Would the Linn Genki be a good transport to match with the ECD1.
Has anyone compared the EMC1 Vs ECD1+transport.Also do i have to worry about jitter or does the ECD1 have someting to correct jitter problems.
I shall very much like to know your suggestions.
Thanks,
Dylon.
