Criteria was dynamics, tonal balance, detail, soundstage width and depth, deep bass response, treble extension and "airiness", and then things specific to good digital sound---i.e. non fatiguing, no "hardness and glare". All of these things can be easily heard and sorted through on the Genesis 1.1 loudspeaker system. HRx material at 24/176.4 was used in all comparisons made.
The Apogee 200/Big Ben combo was even better then the Weiss. And the EMU was just as good as the Apogee/Big Ben in all the areas above. The 0404 certainly was not "glossing over details" when we compared it. Far from that. Even SPECIFICALLY listening for subtle cues like a triangle ringing during certain passages and its decay and depth in the soundtage, I can tell you the EMU had tons of detail. The differences between the DAC's were slight, but there.
I'll never be able to convince you of the above, but I was there and heard it with my own ears----so you'll not be able to convince me otherwise either. We are all entitled to our own opinion.
Bottom line in all this??? FOR THE MONEY, you simply cannot beat the $200 0404. Maybe we can agree on that.

Joel
