Hmm, EMM has a diff sound from the CD12. CD12 is still a tad bit more 'musical', or rather maybe the EMM just offers more 'resolution' and details that the CD12 tends to 'smooth over'. But I am fine with either. I think it boils down to personal preference. There really is no absolute. Unidisk... yes I do have it, but rarely use it. I do have some SACD that I use the Unidisk with. CD performance on the Unidisk 1.1 is so-so...SACD sounds very good, but ironically, I think DVDA sounds the best. I also use it as my DVD Video player.

Honestly i think if the RIP are perfect, there should be NO difference. The perfect transport is to deliver the bits accurately. And once you are there, you can't go 'beyond' that. -- WSLam WSLam SB2 | Unidisk 1.1 | TacT RCS2.0s | EMM Labs DCC2 | Mark Levinson No.33H | Revel Ultima Salon 'Photo of my Setup' (http://photos.lam.ws/thumbnails.php?album=62) _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
