| Well, there was also an interesting positive moment during this trip. The guy has three of more D/As. It was Audio Research played model 3, the newest DCS and newest Meitner’s EMM transport/DAC. The first two were quite ordinary bad, as was fully expected. When my guy put the new EMM into game I was comfortably purring in my clear expecting the typical sharp and sardonically Hi-Fi sound that is characteristic for the consumer products of this company. Over the course years an existence of that EMM DAC in someone’s listening room was an unavoidable evident of the person’s audio-moronity. I’m not kidding, among at least 2 dozens installations with EMM that I head sound always was very “idiosyncratically bad” and I “violently” suggested to anybody to get rid of the EMM crap as soon as possible. To my surprise this time EMM transport and DAC that my Wilson’s guy used did not produced immediately repellent reaction within me. In fact it was kind of nice. I certainly do not make any far-reaching observations but my first acquaintance with new EMM transport and DAC was positive. Probably I need to re-listen it again within a reasonably performing installation and I am sure I will find something in it worth my bitching…. The only one justification that I might bring that digital usually sound OK for the first few hours after it was juts unpacked … I hope it will not happen with the EMM of my new Wilson guy…. |

In the initial post of this thread I have mentioned about the very unexpectedly positive experience that I had when I visited a friend of mine and listed his new, just arrived EMM lab DAC and transport. It was bit surprises to me as the DSD EMM Lab’s DACs that I have herd before were very poor. The guy who juts bought that set explained to me that it was newest improved version of that DAC and transport. Well, I had my reasons to doubt but the fact was very self-evident and the new DAC-transport did sounded quite positive right after his opened up the boxed and put it in use.
Today I have a change to visit the same guy again and to audition the same DAC-transport combination bully broken-in and with the latest EMM Lab software installed. I, as usually, played the PCM disks only as I do not do the SACDs and ….the result was horrible. It was typically-disgusting flat and HF jumpy sound that being cultivated within thousands listening rooms by the audio Morons who have reviewers quotes between thier ears instead of brain. The whole sound was pretty much fixed by removing the entire transport–DAC combo and replacing it with an inexpensive and ordinary performing CD player.
I would like to bring my apologies for my premature keenness of the newest EMM Lab’s digital front end. The provisos initial sentiment of mine was very corrects: if the person has found a reasons to use the EMM Lab’s front end in his playback then it is the unavoidable evidence that the person should be labeled as audio-fool. It is very unfortunate that Ed Meitner’s company has become a hostage of the barbaric audiophile taste and low-class intentions.
