Electrocompaniet EMP 2 Multiformat Player

Kal Rubinson has posted a review of the Electrocompaniet EMP 2 multi-format player ($3995) in his Music in the Round column at Stereophile. His conclusions:

“Player 1 was the Oppo BDP-95, Player 2 the Electrocompaniet EMP 2. For the diehard fan of two-channel analog sound, the EMP 2′s balanced connections should be heard. Electrocompaniet has done a great job with them; their particularly clear, powerful sound might just suit your ears and your system. But it’s hard to recommend the EMP 2 to multichannel fans, or to those who rely on HDMI connection, even though the Electrocompaniet’s appearance and operational solidity can’t be denied.”
