New digital front end


I am on the verge of purchasing one of the following. I would like to solicit feedback from anyone who has listened or compared the following:

1. Theta Compli/Gen VIII
2. Emm dcc2/cdsd
3. Ayre 5xe
4. Wadia 861se
I am very close to purchasing the Theta GenVIII but I am intrigued with the EMM gear. I have read about the signature upgrades. Thanks in advance

Forget the "upgrades" ... perhaps, now is the time to cash in with so many used emmlabs CDSD/DCC2 up for sale at a good price ! assuming they are in good working order, you will not regret it.
Stenho,

I was just recommending to Jetusmc that he consider the original emmlabs CDSD/DCC2, now that many are on sale for a very good price. I am very familiar with these, as I have had them in my room for the last year, and don't think he will regret purchasing them if he can afford them and if the equipment is working properly. As for the value of considering the signature upgrades, time will tell.

Hope this clears things up.
