"I use a Playback Designs MPS-5 every day. I use this as my "go to" DAC, even over my DAD AX24 and Meitner/EMM Labs DAC8 IV. The fact that there is a transport thrown in, makes it a no-brainer."
The EMM DAC-8 MkIV is *old* by now and far from a valid comparison. There have been five generations of EMM converters / players that are newer than the DAC 8. (Dac6se; DCC2; CDSA; DAC2; XDS1)
"I have used this unit to transfer every single 88.2kHz file that HDTracks has to offer for download. So in a word, everyone that downloads these files, in some way, is hearing these files through this machine."
Sorry, you aren't the only person who's done transfers for HD-tracks...
