Man, this is confusing stuff.

Doesn't this just mean that the DAC's in the NAD CD player are better than the DAC's in the Emo (since you're using the digital out from the Oppo)? Can it mean anything else?

I'm not arguing. I totally believe that you can discern a preference. I'm just trying to wrap my brain around this.

Thanks for reporting your experience.
