Hello guys. I currently own the old EMM Labs CDSAse and would like to upgrade soon. The budget would be 7-8K Euros for a second hand unit and I am of course looking at Emm DAC2X V2 in the first place as I very much like the sound of EMM (don't have a lot of experience with ultra high end dacs but CDSA outperformed easily everything I've heard up to it's price range). The upgrade has 2 reasons > even better sound quality and convenience as CDSA has no inputs (I intend to also purchase the Aurender N10 in order to bring all my high res music on its internal HDD or connect the TV through the DAC). Questions :
1. Are there any other comparable/better options to consider at this price point ?
2. How much of an improvement would I see going from CDSAse to DAC2X V2 ? (can't afford a DA2 V2 unfortunately)
3. Any compatibility issues between Aurender N10 and DAC2X v2 ?
