EMM original CDSD with DCC2-SE?


Anyone use this combo? How does it compare to a pure-SE pair? Thanks.

Hello Rgs,

I purchased my cdsd ( with the USB port ) just before EMM released the CDSD/SE. I had to send it to EMM for a repair and they also brought it up to the SE status which included the new firmware and an update to the power supply. IMO it was a very noticeable improvement.

Hi Rich,

The improvement was resolution which brought to the surface details that were just not there before. This new information came in different ways, timbre of texture be it instrument or voice was more realistic, the sound space was bigger with more air around images.

Slightly better dynamic shading and also the extension both highs and lows were a little better. These improvements while very apparent IMO in my system was not as profound to me as when I had my DAC6 upgraded to the DAC6/SE. Hope this helps.

Good luck,
Tom
