Emm Labs CDSA 'X' upgrade


UK distributor mentioned an 'X' upgrade was going to be available soon for $5000 but hasn't got back with details. Anyone know anymore about the upgrade?

Rgs2, I can't find your review. Can you please provide the link? Thanks in advance.
Rgs92, I have not done the X upgrade. I have the EMM CDSA SE and had the same problem with glare/shrillness. I eliminated the problem by putting ICs and PCs in series and with careful use of Oyaide plugs and IECs. The glare/shrillness does not come from the EMM. It comes from cables and plugs/IECs.
Hi Rgs92, I have found the same thing -- the CDSA being VERY sensitive to cables. I agree -- power cables -- and ICs as well. As I mentioned, I have not done the X upgrade but I have completely eliminated the harshness in the highs with my cabling. The highs are so much sweeter now. And the bass is much tighter and better defined -- not muddy at all. The improvement in the sound stage was also quite dramatic -- width, depth and height. I really cannot overstate the improvements. They have far exceeded my expectations.
