I had the EMM Labs TSD1/DAC2 combo and it was magical, I'd suggest you listen to the new DAC2X and consider that over the XSD1.
What to buy ???
Hi,
I have just sold my old cd/sacd player ( Emm Labs CDSA SE ), and I am thus in the market for a new player.
I have narowed the options in to:
Emm Labs XDS1
DCS Puccini + U-clock.
Accuphase DP800 DC801 ( Used device ).
ARC Ref cd 9 ( Comming uot in February 13 )
I loved the old player, but the drive problems....... argh..... it was with the new drive, but still not very stable.
So I might leen towards the XDS1 right now.... but the DCS combo is also very tempting.
I need a player that is fast and tight in the bass region, because my room has som bass-issues that are amplified if the system is slow and boomy in the bass. The old Emm, handled this quite fine, but I have tried an Audio Aero Lafontain, and it simply does not work in my room, with the current speakers ( SF Stradivari ).
Please let me know if you have any thoughts on the above.
NB: Im Danish, hence the poor English !
