Actually that "perfect" impulse response is a technical flaw from sampling theory's pov; It is obtained by using a very slow roll off filter (opposite of what Chord does for example with their extremely sharp filters) of which effect you can see in the intermodulation distortion graph (compare it to Chord DAVE or even Qutest).

If the DA2/DV2 can work on Linux without drivers with the USB connection, it could be used with something like a Lumin, Auralic or Aurender that offer USB outputs to be able to play the higher rates without resorting to a PC.
What I find puzzling is the DSD128 limitation of the DA2/DV2 over USB when the converter itself upsamples internally to DSD1024.
Hi all,
JVS of Stereophile (in the comment section of his review of the EMM Labs DV2) said: "I spent a huge amount of time with the DV2, which is now with me on loan to use in future reviews because I think it sounds so good. Because my best source for feeding it files is the Network Bridge, which doesn't have a USB out, I limit my files to 192 PCM or DSD64, and forego playing MQA."

Have you heard any Lampi dacs ? I have on hand a gg2 and new pac as well.
I owned the msb plate 4 all updated.
I have heard at Lenth the msb sel 2. It's a good dac but lampizaror plays music not just sound
as for any dc being brite I doubt any is made to be and can be made right with many adjustments.

Do you work for Emm or Meitner or any associated company, dealer or distributor? Since you joined, every single post has been about EMM. Please disclose all affiliations.
Nice. Didn’t you already have a PAC? This is a second or replacement?
Mike I can't. Seem to upload pics any advice ?

Hi Mike,
The answer is NO. I am just an audiophile and a music lover. BTW, this is an EMM DA2 thread!
Hi all, you might be interested in the following report by Jonathan Valin (Munich High End 2019: Loudspeakers - The absolute sound)
MartinLogan [FONT="]showed its $80k, three-way, electrostatic-hybrid [/FONT]Neolith [FONT="](large curvilinear electrostatic panel, 12" front-firing carbon-fiber mid/woofer crossed over at 400Hz, and rear-firing, ported 15" subwoofer), driven by [/FONT]Pass Labs [FONT="]electronics, sourced by an [/FONT]EMMLabs DA2[FONT="] and a [/FONT]VPI HW-40[FONT="] turntable, and wired with and conditioned by [/FONT]MIT[FONT="]. Combining a supremely lively and lifelike boxless ’stat sound in the midrange and treble with the best blend of a dynamic woofer/subwoofer of any ML hybrid I’ve heard, the Neolith was superb on a digital cut of Fischer-Dieskau singing Schubert lieder—and on everything else played. So fast and clean and open, these speakers just don’t sound like dynamics; it is as if they aren’t dragging that cone-and-box chain behind them. Of course, they didn’t have all the midbass weight and power of cones either, but with the most finely detailed and realistic midrange I heard in Munich, they simply stood ahead of the competition.

His comments on this room surprised me. I heard it three times and was never overly impressed. Best I ever heard the ML Neoliths was with the big ARC REF750SE’s. That was magic. Otherwise, I like the ESL 9/11/13/15a range with Constellation.

[FONT="]Joe Cox, editor-in-chief @ what hifi? (High End Munich 2019 Show Report) states: "What better place to start than a massive pair of electrostatic speakers? "Truth in sound" is what Martin Logan promises from its flagship, made -to-order Neolith speakers and they were certainly sounding staggeringly revealing being fed by electronics from Pass Labs."[/FONT]
Ed Selley of hi-fi + (avforums Munich High End 2019 show report) writes: "This wasn’t the most expensive system at the show and neither was it the largest, most complex or even the largest red speaker on show but it generated the sound I liked the most. The Martin Logan Neolith is the flagship design of the hybrid electrostatic speaker from the company and it was doing a fine turn on the end of a system from fellow US high end denizens, Pass Labs. It had truly incredible reserves of scale and combined this with speed, tonal realism and sheer musicality that isn’t always present with systems at the MOC."
