HI ,
Very seriously interested in your views just in case someone has been able to compare the two ?
Areas of special interest, If possible:
Detailed presentation as well as ability to handle Dynamics.
Thanks in Advance

Shigaraki DAC with optional Dumpty power supply replaced my 7500$ Krell kps 28c. :-0
Details and dynamics? Apparently power supply and transport influence a lot in those area.
Having said that, tho, between 47Labs and Electrocompaniet have totally different overall presentation and disposition.

  Kuma,
  My idea was that both are musical..I was vowing not to get into technical details of uversampling/no sampling and focus purely on the sound!
  I thught both were moderately detailed (perhaps EMC has a edge on this) and Musical (the shgaraki perhaps better there?).
  Any tips/pointers are helpful..i would be auditioning them with different equipment at the different dealers ..No take home policy here :(
  - depends on how you define 'musical'... - kuma 10:22:26 03/09/04 (0)
    Arj,
    I am not interested in technical details on a digital gear, either.
    A standard Shigaraki might lack in details over Electo but its tune carrying ability is better.
    I see the dilemma if you can't audition them in your rig, as Shigaraki DAC is influenced greatly by the transport you'll be using.
