i also don‘t really understand why this is necessary.

with aes it‘s not needed.

shahin from emm labs wrote to me that version 2 of the da2 handles track infos over the rs232 link.

it‘s also stated in the manual of da2 v2.

but until now the upgrade is not available in austria and my dealer is on holyday for 2 months 😒

so maybe in autumn i get news.

Hi Guenter,

 

Have you received news about the V2 upgrade from your dealer?

 

We are happy to help with this process in whatever way we can. 
 

Cheers from EMM Labs

Hi All,

 

I just got the EMM DA2 V2 Dac and I am presently using it with the Allo Usbridge Signature. It sounds wonderful but I'm wondering if the sound could be better with either the NS1 or something like the Sonore Signature Rendu.

 

Has anyone directly compared these two? Also, is the Sonore compatible with DSD and MQA?

 

Thanks,

Hi @msb1,

 

The connection protocol we implemented for DA2/NS1 integration is the EMM Link. We have had many customers report that the NS1, when paired with DA2 V2, punches far above its price point for a streaming solution. 
 

Chris also had excellent results with Sonore’s line of products.

 

We are here to answer any questions should you have them. 
 

Cheers from EMM Labs

I went for the Sonore Signature Rendu SE optical and received it a few weeks ago.

The combination DA2 V2 with the Sonore Signature is the best Streamer/DAC I ever heard. Previously I owned a used Vivaldi Stack (Upsampler v2, Clock, DAC v2). IMO, the DA2 + Sonore has more space/air around instruments and voices. Another highlight are the lows and lower mids... beautiful and unheard before. 

Thank you for the good words @Urs 

 

If you care to share your experiences with the DA2 V2 as a sort of ‘testimonial’ please email me at [email protected] 

 

And please let us know if we can be of service in any way. 
 

All the best from EMM Labs!
