    Emm labs DA2 v2 upgrade

    hi guys, Thanks for all the inputs. I use three Luxman M-900u for Biamp. I found Makua Pre and Luxman a good combo until I had DA2 V2, because of the improvement brought from the addition of DA2 V2, I thought, maybe I'm wrong, the rest of the system might need an upgrade, too. So far, I have...

    Emm labs DA2 v2 upgrade

    hi all, I just have a DA2 V2 into my system. And I'm astonished by the sound playback quality. So real, the attack of guitar and the body are way better than I expect. However, I'm wondering if anyone of you replace the feet of DA2 V2? I have some experience that some feet could elevate...

    New BADA DAC; DSD Debunked?

    hello DJ, I've been following your posts since you've added totaldac into your system and knew you sold them and went to Acourate with HILO. I'm also interested in Acourate and a big fan of DSD. What do you mean by doing DSD with Acourate? Wouldn't DSD be changed into PCM when undergoing...

    The ***Unofficial*** Multichannel DAC Thread

    You can see in this clip that Dop is received by exD USB-SDIF converter and DSD is transmitted via two BNC to mytek master version. DCC2 SE also has SDIF input to accept DSD from exD converter. And I am discussing with exD designer about a MCH version to make DAC8 MKIV play MCH DSD from computer.

    The ***Unofficial*** Multichannel DAC Thread

    edorr, Thanks for your advice. I've found both an used SWM3 and an Orpheus Two and still consider which is the better device. EMM Labs DAC8 is a 1 bit DSD DAC, while mytek, I have a master version, is a multi bit DAC. So, three mytek is not my target now.

    The ***Unofficial*** Multichannel DAC Thread

    Thanks for all the suggestions you provide. I have narrowed my choice to Orpheus Two and EMM Switchman 3. The DAC would be EMM DAC8 MKIV, which only has XLR outputs. So maybe SWM3 would be a better choice. But I am also interested in Orpheus, which had rave review in MCH pre. BTW, Is there a...

    edorr, is the volume control on Theta six shooter only controlled by the Casablanca 2/3/3HD/4? bmoura, I've heard that Switchman III is a little bit too warm sounding. Do you think so?

    The ***Unofficial*** Multichannel DAC Thread

    I opened the chassis and saw sony chips inside DAC8. Actually, DCC2 non-se shall also has sony chips inside, while sony stop providing 1 bit chip, EMM Labs decided to make their own, so that's why those models were upgraded to SE version. The difference of structure between DAC8 MKIV and...

    The ***Unofficial*** Multichannel DAC Thread

    Anybody knows the difference on SQ of EMM Labs DAC6e SE and EMM Labs DAC8 MKIV. I believe the former has EMM's proprietary DAC technology, while the latter uses Sony Chips to decode 1 bit DSD.

    Totaldac Reference D1

    Hello dallasjustice, What do you mean about the BMC better than ASR? You're referring to their volume controls or how easy they could drive the speakers? Or do you think without the pre section is better for Totaldac? John

    MSB Analog DAC vs Totaldac d1

    The Django has three woofers. It definitely won't be shy on the bass. So matching with Analog, which already has enough authority on the low register, gives me a little bit to much bass. I'm not a guy hunger for bass. Totaldac suited better in this scenario. It delivered sweeter highs and...
