EMM Labs AS Optimism emm.
I would call EMM Labs. This could be an issue with one of the chips in the CDSD or the DCC2 or a cable issue. EMM will discuss a testing routine to establish what the problem is. Just a recommendation.Good luck and happy New Year. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I recently heard the Montana WAS speakers which IMO are among the very best I have ever heard. Palpable soundstage and imaging, the lowest and best bass I have ever heard and absolutely lovely midrange and upper frequencies. Frankly, it is hard to... 
Nova Utopia Be $38K - Are they good?
I am constantly struck by how remarkably personal this hobby and individual listening preferences can be. No doubt, our unique impressions and listening styles drive this hobby. At the same time, many impressions voiced here are merely that, "impr... 
Best speakers for Classical music under 10k used
I own the Nova Utopias which are fabulous, however, I just heard the Zingali 115 and they are spellbinding. Properly setup, I think they are one of the best speakers I have ever heard, at any price. There is a pair on Audiogon currently for under ... 
Nova Utopia Be $38K - Are they good?
By the way, as an aside and in further response to Sirspeedy, and I apologize in advance for being off topic, I spoke with someone at TAD today, who indicated that the Model one are no longer being produced despite what was an order backlog. They ... 
Nova Utopia Be $38K - Are they good?
Sirspeedy, by way of background, regarding your experience with the timbral balance issue with the new Utopias. I initially heard the Utopias with all top of the line BAT gear and I walked out of the room, happy that I didn't have the Utopias. The... 
Nova Utopia Be $38K - Are they good?
I have a pair of the Nova Utopia Bes and they are the finest speakers I have ever had and very hard to beat in terms of the sonics/size/looks equation. If you could pick them up for the price mentioned, I would jump on them, though I doubt you'll ...

Talon Firebirds, Aerial Acoustics Model 20T, VR-7
I owned the 20Ts and have listened to the Firebirds for about 2 hours, never heard to VR-7. Based on these limitations, my two cents: First, all fine speakers and obviously, results will vary based upon your room and equipment. The Aerials are ter... 
Wilson Audio, Talon, Rockport and B&W
I've auditioned the Firebirds and WP7s at length, and the B&Ws for a briefer period. All are excellent speakers and your preference will definitely come down to taste. All three are solid companies, with Wilson and B&W having even longer h... 
Bang and Olufsen
I had a very different experience than Zaikesman. I listened to the Beolab 5s about 9 months ago and was very impressed. They were poorly set up so it was hard to know how much better they could sound at home but I found their presentation very mu... 
Ideas for long rca interconnect?
Harmonic Tech Cyberlight would be ideal for such a long run with rca. 
Sonus Faber Amati or what....
The Amatis are wonderful speakers. That said, there are a number of speakers in the Amati price range (or less) that are its equal or better, depending on your taste, and well worth auditioning. These include, in no particular order:JM Lab Alto Ut...
