Yes I do, hence this thread

You are an important voice in my decision making process.

I am just amazed at how much attention these have received, thank you so much for the link!

I am thinking about just going with the DAC2X to start, then adding the TSDX later.

any update, joe?

 

[joeinid]

I still want the 111 but have not made up my mind.

I picked up the EMM Labs DAC2X and absolutely love it. I'm still thinking about the 111 but have definitely bought some time. I am just absolutely amazed at how much better digital sounds through the DAC2X.

It's still breaking in but I have to say I never heard more detail without being harsh. I've never heard such a wide sound-stage, literally left wall to right wall. Scary at times. I hear things and I swear my neck is sore because I am looking around the room and even behind me, thinking I hear something there. I love it. Voices are just beautiful.

Sounds great...thanks for that.

I have gear ALL OVER the room but I'll post something soon.

I really like the sound of the DAC2X.

I can only imagine

My brand new DAC2X is in the house. What is a reasonable amount of time for burn in before serious listening? How many hours until it is at 100% performance level?

 

[rockitman]

how does it sound so far compared to the PS Audio Perfect wav ? as you know, I have that dac and if my memory serves me right, you had one too ? I am starting to lean toward EMM Labs too. MSB's ala carte offerings that nickel and dime you to death is starting to annoy me and turn me away (analogue dac).

After 2-3 weeks of 24/7 streaming/playing, I was confident it was broken in. After a couple of months of ownership, I absolutely love it. It did not break the bank and sounds awesome!

It is lined up next to my PWD MKII, but it has been running for 2 hours only and I have not listened to it yet. I'll do some comparing between the two DACs this evening. Stay tuned.

Congratulations edorr!

Give a listen, it only gets better.
