I'm in the decided minority on this one, but in my experience the EMM CDSD/DCC2 combo is simply the best source I've ever heard, period. And I've heard a number of SOTA turntables--in my home, in other people's homes, and at shows. Sure, top-notch analog does things that SOTA digital doesn't, but the converse is also true. I don't feel that it's a matter of one format's unquestioned superiority over the other. I think it's a matter of presentation. For me, the Meitner stack suits my sonic priorities to a T. IMHO, if you want a turntable, you'd be buying it for the sonic DIFFERENCES, not necessarily because it's out-and-out better than the Meitner. That's my view, and I'm sticking with it.
Have EMM cdp and DCC2 - what turntable to buy
Hi
I have the EMM Labs cdp & dcc2, dac. I have Atma-Sphere MP1 with phono stage and the upgraded Jensen MC transformers , and MA1.3 amps .
Wanted to buy a turntable and would like it to be of a higher level audio quality if possible.
I would be willing to spend the cash if it can be an upward adventure. Surely don't want it to be sideways.
Any experienced thoughts welcome.
It would be my first TT so low maintenance is important.
