EMM vs. MBL DACs

I am considering making a change to my digital front-end. My current setup is this:

Wadia 781i SACD player
GamuT DI-150 integrated amplifier
MBL 111E speakers

I have been using the Wadia both as a CD player and as a DAC for my video game systems. I am thinking about moving the Wadia into another system and putting a new DAC in this system.

I've heard great things about all-MBL systems, and I must admit that I was impressed by the MBL system that I heard at RMAF. But I've also become interested in the relatively new EMM Labs DAC2. Unfortunately, my experience with the MBL DAC was limited to that show, and I have not heard the DAC2.

Has anyone had a chance to compare the EMM DAC2 against the MBL 1511 or 1611 DACs? If so, what are your thoughts? Thank you.

Look at MSB Tech the Platinum series they come up on audiogon from time to time and they will blow MBL and EMM
out of the water and if you add their ilink it can get much better you can get a Platinum II used for around $2500
