Having had a long term relationship with EMM Labs, we certainly know good digital playback when we hear it. Imagine our suprise when we heard the $23,400.00 EMM Labs DCC2eSE / CDSD-SE state of the art combination compared directly against the $15,000 Playback Designs MPS 5 and our jaws dropped. The difference was truly a revelation. There was no hint of the digital glare and hashiness that one comes to expect from digital playback. It just sounded natural. The musicality, dynamics and frequency extension were unlike anything we had ever experienced from CD's or SACD's.

We have had players and DACs in every configuration you could imagine, tube output stages, etc. and the Playback Designs gives you everything you would ever want with the highest level of clarity that other players cannot approach. We are not suggesting that you blindly order a unit from your dealer. We are suggesting that the Playback Designs MPS 5 needs to be heard before spending your money on lesser equipment.

Playback Designs and Blue Light Audio proudly offer the newest line of Playback Designs products designed specifically for the home "audiophile." The professional recording world has been amazed by the sound of these incredible players and now you too can experience how good digital playback can get!
