EMM Transport V. Meitner Phillip Transport


By now we all know that the DCC2 is heralded by its owners as excellent and the true king of the DAC hill.

I am curious as to whether the EMM accolades is mostly about the DCC2 or also the transport.

I was hearing great things about the Meitner Phillip Transport and am curious as to whether there was a big improvement in the new EMM transport or not. Has anyone tested the dcc2 using the new emm transport versus the dcc2 using the meitner phillip modified transport?

p.s. Is the consensus among dcc2 owners that the dcc2 outperforms the preamps that they had in their system. Do Dcc2 owners who have or had high end preamps find this to be true. Anyone with a BATVK51SE or VTL 7.5 or top of the line ARC or other top of the line preamp owners find this not to be the case?

hello tireguy

very interesting discussions

would like to know your opinion, but first my system: ML reference line: 31.5 dac + 30.6 transp + 32 preamp+ 33 amps- avalon osiris speakers: do you know them ???...(C12 supertweeter replaced by a diamond tweeter D-20 recently: same electrical specifications)-NBS monitor O PC's - all interconnects NBS black label-MIT EVO 850 shotgun biwire speaker cable

i'm living in belgium - europe
the listening room is 8 m x 4.5 m with inclined side walls: highest point in the middle is 3.20 m - corners and walls well treated with bastraps, skylines etc

to the point: would like to know your opinion concerning a possible "upgrade" of my source: meitner dac6 + cdsd or dcc2 + cdsd - and what to do with the ML 32 preamp: could the ML 32 be a good match with the dac6 + cdsd or do you prefer a combination dac2 + cdsd (and not using then the ML 32) ??...

i'am a 2 channel listener - mostly classical music - no analog (the ML 32 has yet a phonostage ...)

should another audiogon-member have an opinion in this matter, feel free to answer my questions here and now ...

tireguy, i also tried to contact mike lavigne by sending him an e-mail, but he did not answer ... maybe he did not receive my post ??...

greatings and
enjoy ...
